Project Management

Project Proposal Template and Guide

Topics: Estimating, PMO

The Project Proposal is usually the first document outlining what change is proposed. It is the document that converts an idea or policy into the details of a potential project, including the outcomes, outputs, major risks, costs, stakeholders and an estimate of the resourcing and time required.

What will you get out of this?

The Project Proposal expands the initial concepts in order to:

Provide broad details of the objectives, scope, resources, budget, milestones, risks, stakeholders and related projects of the initiative;
Define the guidelines/standards to be applied throughout the initiative; and
Gain authorization to proceed to the next step of the initiative.
