Scenario

You are meeting with Pat (who is also the sponsor of the project), the vice president of human resources, and several other key project decision makers to review the approach you are going to take on the project. You are discussing the process you intend to follow for selecting your sellers (vendors), your timing of those activities, and the resources and scope information that you will need to create the request for proposal (RFP) and techniques used to evaluate the proposals.

Based on your discussion with Pat and the rest of the team, prepare a project overview for Pat. Include your recommendations for the following:

– The process you will follow for selecting the vendors
o You may represent this through a combination of graphics and text, or provide a text-only explanation.
– Information you will include in the RFP
– Criteria you will use to evaluate and select vendors (new)
– Milestones and approximate time frames for the entire selection process
