Abstract :
In project teams, having an unique vocabulary and a common understanding about terms is essential to the success of the project. This issue especially disturbs a design project, which has a multidisciplinary team and must consist of people with specific and different knowledge, from diverse domains, to execute special activities. Negotiation arises from this context as a process for the construction of consensus. The goal of this work is to present a model of negotiation to obtain the consensus of meanings, based on models of business negotiation, and consequently, deal with conflicts and the multiplicity of understandings of a concept, making this negotiation a way for creating value for all agents involved
