[null,null,"The RFx Project Plan has been developed as a Procurement Tool to assist Issuing Officers and Program Owners in mapping out the required tasks, resources, deliverables, and timelines necessary to meet their Implementation Date.  The initial Project Plan is developed by the Issuing Officer and then confirmed with the Key Stakeholders.  The Project Plan is annotated as you move through the solicitation process and is aligned to the Seven Stages of Strategic Sourcing.  As each Stage is completed, a revised Project Plan based on the actual completion dates may be needed.   The Issuing Officer will use the Comments field to capture variances in the Project Timeline for both documentation and lessons learned.    The initial stages of the Project relate to any sourcing project - RFI, RFQ, RFQC, or RFP.  The Project Plan has specific directions by Stage as to whether you would continue with the Project Plan or close the Project Plan based on a sourcing decision.
