Feature Request: Pre-proposal management
Summary:
Enable teams to manage pre-proposal work in a structured workflow, including RFP review, team creation, proposal creation, and workflow building. The feature should help users organize the early stages of proposal planning so teams can move from opportunity intake to proposal preparation with greater consistency and visibility.
Problem Statement:
Pre-proposal activities are often handled through disconnected steps and informal processes, making it difficult to track progress, coordinate the right contributors, and ensure that each proposal starts with the necessary preparation. Without a defined workflow for RFP review, team setup, proposal creation, and process management, teams may waste time, miss important handoffs, or duplicate effort.
Proposed Solution:
Provide a pre-proposal management capability that guides users through the full setup process before proposal work begins.
Allow users to review and assess RFPs in a centralized place to determine readiness and next steps.
Support team creation so the appropriate stakeholders and contributors can be assigned early in the process.
Enable proposal creation from the pre-proposal workflow so teams can move seamlessly from evaluation to execution.
Include workflow-building tools that define stages, responsibilities, and progress tracking for each pre-proposal effort.
Benefits:
Improves consistency across pre-proposal planning and execution.
Reduces manual coordination and the risk of missed steps during proposal setup.
Increases visibility into proposal readiness, ownership, and workflow progress.
Helps teams collaborate more effectively and move faster from RFP intake to proposal development.
