The IMS will also contain tasks subordinate to the criteria and any additional detail to enhance a rigorous schedule management process, facilitate the identification of task interdependencies and provide additional insight through the use of critical path analysis
• Work closely with all members of the proposal team and cognizant organizations to ensure a viable end product IMP/IMS
