Explanation

An RFI (Request for Information) is used when a project manager or organization needs to gather information about a technology, product, or vendor capability before making procurement decisions. Since the technology is unfamiliar, the project manager would issue an RFI to learn what vendors offer and to better understand the solution space-this informs future procurement documents. An RTM (Requirements Traceability Matrix) tracks requirements to deliverables. An RFQ (Request for Quote) is used when requirements are known and you need pricing. An RFP (Request for Proposal) solicits vendor proposals for a defined need. RFI comes first in the procurement cycle when knowledge is lacking.
