It was mentioned by Canada team, during feedback session, that current structure of Align stage does not cover activities that take place during RFI / RFP phases of the project, before the final contract is signed.
In reality, a significant amount of activities contained in Align phase would have to be marked as done as soon as the delivery starts, because they were finished way before the project kicked off.
The idea is to extend Align phase to include this kind of activities.

The current leadership direction is that PDM is focused on delivery execution and does not encompass R&Q pursuit activities. As such, there are currently no plans to extend the Align stage to include pre-engagement pursuit, RFI/RFP, or contract-signing activities.
We appreciate the feedback and the insight into how these activities are performed in practice, and we will continue to consider user input as the methodology evolves.
Thank you for your suggestion, @Pawel Wojtaszko — we appreciate your input! We’ll review this with the product team and assess it for future consideration. We’ll follow up once we have more clarity on next steps or status.
