Proposal Management - Commitments

A proposal that is status "published" formally defines the terms being offered by the supplier. It specifies the deliverable that the supplier is offering to release to its customers, and the commitment required from the customers. A commitment is a confirmation by a customer to contribute towards a proposal. Once the required number of customer commitments have been made towards a proposal, the Supplier will proceed with building the deliverable specified in the proposal.

Typically, a proposal from the Supplier will request a financial commitment from customers. But a proposal might also request a non-financial commitment from customers, such as commitment to beta test a new release of software.
