What's Next?Chapter 3, "Getting Started: Request for Proposals (RFPs), Proposals, and Contracts," discusses an aspect of projects many developers and other team members never see or experiencethe procurement process. I invite you to examine this chapter, because it will help you understand the factors that lay the groundwork for difficulties on projects. Practitioners who have not experienced proposals and procurement efforts will gain insight into how these activities influence the eventual success or failure of an outsourced project. |
