Introductiontop

When a Proposal has been accepted and a Customer Contract or an End-User Agreement has been signed, the Bidding is over, and a Project will be launched. The work to be done may be internal or for a Customer, but the Bid will have produced the basis for the Project, including a Project Mandate, a Project Brief, a Business Case and a draft Project Initiation Document. Now it is time formally to set up the Project, to create the framework for managing and doing the work, and so to ensure that all the Project's objectives are met.
