Question
Assume you are a project manager at a software engineering consulting firm. One of your key responsibilities is planning and estimating software engineering projects. A client organization has sent you a set of high-level features that it needs for a new software product. You must prepare a proposal that contains your approach, cost, and schedule. The client requires that you submit a fixed-price (schedule and cost) bid. Describe how you would prepare such a bid and how you would deal with the risks presented by the fixed-price requirement.
