Project management is at the core of your proposal management process; from developing the plan and coordinating the resources to shipping, and managing every step in between.
In other words, you are managing a proposal project, and that project is just as critical to business performance and organizational success as any software development or delivery project.
The difference lies in a simple factor; with proposal management, you (usually) don’t own the expert resources. An executive draws them, and the funding, from across the organization for just enough time to develop the proposal and win the new business. It is your job to lead them and manage their time wisely.
Bottom Line: Don’t let manual coordination slow you down when proposal management-specific tools will help save time and keep your team in sync and on deadline.
Part three will focus on how not to let a lack of information slow down the proposal process.
