As noted in last month’s blog, this edition will focus on the key ingredients for developing a request for proposal (RFP). First, when do you utilize a RFP or a request for information (RFI)? The lynchpin of any RFP is a well-defined scope of work (SOW). Also, the RFP process in itself is a learning experience.

Two weeks ago, in a moment of weakness, I almost submitted a response to a request for proposals (RFP). However, I remembered an earlier vow that I had made to myself never to put myself and my colleagues through "RFP hell" again, was resolute, and I ignored the invitation. Here's my list of RFP pet peeves (in no particular order).

I’m not suggesting that this is an RFP rulebook; it’s not even a list of recommendations.

There are still vendors who will show you everything, rather than asking up front what you want to see OR tailor it based on a previous conversation. Actually, I do blame: Vendors who still post RFP templates on their site – which by the way tend to be geared towards themselves. Demo Doomsday. No, just kidding. Just a guess here!

The basics of any use case, is, to define at least at the very early stages, whether or not you qualify, for the conversation to continue. Criteria you can just see when you check out a demo or blast over an RFP (after you take a look at the demo, although way too many people do it the opposite way). That’s criteria.
