		<description>Dennis,
Great post. The Concept of Operations (ConOps) is a mandatory document for most federal procurement. 
Here&#039;s a few examples

		<description>I really like the &quot;objective&quot; boxes that lay out the different things you will accomplish against the same business capability, I think that would be a great way to not only choose the right &quot;how&quot; decision, but when reviewing choices with people, being clear that all of them get to the same outcome, it&#039;s a question of which things are a priority in getting to that outcome - excellent.</description>
