Proposal Evaluation

SMA Capture & Proposals

Take this assessment to score your proposal against best practices. This test is most helpful prior to a color-team review but can be taken at any time. It can be for a specific section, volume, or the whole proposal. It can also be used in a lessons-learned activity. The questions look for evidence that Association of Proposal Management Professionals (APMP) best practices were used across six categories of practice and is process agnostic. You should have a copy of the proposal in front of you as you take the assessment.
