The Scope of Work is the heart of a solicitation. Write it too specific and you run the risk of excluding good proposers. Too vague, and the proposals you receive will be all over the map. In this class we’ll use a template to evaluate actual scopes of work. These practice exercises will help you determine likely weak points, questions to ask, and how to improve the scope of work. You’ll also learn to as-sess what kind of scope of work you’re dealing with: Prescriptive, collaborative, or solution-seeking, or combination.
