Support Work - Choose a Sub-Process
Introductiontop
A number of Sub-processes are common to Manage a Bid and Manage Projects. In The Guidepost, Sub-processes of this kind are called Generic Sub-processes. To maintain consistency and to avoid duplication, they have been grouped in this separate Core Process - Support Work. Its common theme is the support of the other Core Processes, rather than a specific operational context such as Bidding or Delivery. In general these Sub-processes will be in use throughout a Bid or a Project.
This volume has already drawn attention to the fact that the preparation and submission of a Proposal (a "Bid"), and the delivery of a proposed Solution (a "Project"), are both managed as Projects. In this Core Process, a distinction is made only where it is clearly necessary. When this arises, the terms "Bid Project" and/or "Delivery Project" will be used. Otherwise the term "Project" will be used inclusively.
