Question.4184 - Unit 2 - Discussion Board (75 points) Due: Thu, Jan 16 |Printer Friendly Version Description Primary Discussion Response is due by Thursday (11:59:59pm Central), Peer Responses are due by Saturday (11:59:59pm Central). Overview Now that a decision has been made to outsource, there are a few steps before the work commences. First, it is recommended that at least 3 different vendors are solicited with a request for proposal (RFP). This RFP should include the scope of the project and a proposed time, along with other important sections. The statement of work (SOW) will thoroughly outline all of the work you are requesting of the selected RFP. You will be researching templates for both the RFP and the SOW that work best for your selected project. Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 350–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas. Research at least 2 sources (which may include your textbook) to support your response. Using your textbooks as references, describe the steps involved in procurement management. Compare and contrast the roles of a project manager and a contract manager, focusing on the procurement process and the goals of project management to manage the triple constraint. Why is using standard templates for the SOW, RFP, and procurement contract award so important? Be sure to include an introduction and conclusion as well. Include references in APA format. Responses to Other Students: Respond to at least 2 of your fellow classmates with at least a 100–200-word reply about their Primary Task Response regarding items you found to be compelling and enlightening. To help you with your discussion, please consider the following questions: What did you learn from your classmate's posting? What additional questions do you have after reading the posting? What clarification do you need regarding the posting? What differences or similarities do you see between your posting and other classmates' postings? For assistance with your assignment, please use your textbook and all course resources. Discussion Board Rubric
