Please share those areas where tools and expertise may not be subjected to stringent guidelines. Also point out the pitfalls the State should watch for and avoid. 3.Discuss the project management or assessment methodology steps that you believe to be critical or valuable to a successful engagement. This input can be both general and specific. 4.Identify for each service, those key variables that will vary from assessment to assessment (agency to agency) that are necessary to successfully scope the engagement (if not provided in your answer to #1). 5.Other input on specific services you believe the state should consider as it develops its procurement templates
