Some of the challenges with software development are timing, delays, and road mapping. Does that Sound familiar! Much like construction, there has to be a process from initial consultation, conceptual planning with a number of phases on our way to substantial completion + the never-ending maintenance planning so the process runs smoothly. In addition, construction stakeholders have to be forward-thinking, always hunting for the next projects. Kind of like Tuckman’s model of forming, storming, norming, and performing. Development stages in all examples are nearly synonymous; there is a process. Nevertheless, the new release is here, and below we list some of our eTendering and Contract Admin improvements.
Bid Management Improvements:
- Allow individual bidder resubmissions with adjustable deadlines so you can allow bidders to fix mistakes.
