I. Project Summary
This part gives an overview of the purpose of the project. This would explain the issues that
need to be resolved and how is it best to be resolved. Insert details of rationale here.

A. Project Background
This part should tackle about the history of the opportunity or problem that needs to be
resolved. Here it is critical to explain the current state of the problem. This should also answer
the requirements or expectations necessary to execute the solution and discuss the solution
itself. Make sure to include references and statistics in this section. Best practice is to keep this
no longer than 1 page.
B. Project Objectives
In this section in particular, it is very important to write concisely and clearly.

II. Project Methodology

The project methodology section of a proposal is where you detail the plan for how the
objectives mentioned in the previous section will be achieved. This is the first section of the
proposal that details the course of action to remedy the problem and is meant to prove that
adequate research has been done for this decision.
A. Vision
This part should tell the vision of the proposal. The vision discusses how the project or solution
can alleviate the beneficiaries of the project as a whole. Also this part should also include the
goals. These may include the little steps taken to achieve the vision.
B. Project Approach Summary
Use a few sentences to describe the overall approach to the project. This includes how the
team will be organized, what tools will be used, and how changes will be addressed during
execution.
C. Project Deliverables
This part itemizes the activities that need to be done. The importance of itemizing these
individually is to keep the manager of the project guided by looking at a checklist of things that
need to be ticked off.
 D. Task Breakdowns and Timeframe
This is the section of the proposal where a detailed project schedule is presented. To start,
make a list of tasks that are required for the project as well as an estimation of the hours
required to complete each one. This part should answer how long will the project run. There
should be a little explanation that details why it would take such duration for the project to be
completed. Here is where you start to see ideas turn into action. A project proposal will often
include a chart outlining the resources, tasks, and timeline.

E. Resources
Just like deliverables, this should be a checklist of items/materials that is need to carry out the
project. Define briefly each item.
Budget
This should summarize the budget that is needed to complete the project. For example, it
should itemize in total the budget for the construction materials, labor of workers,
miscellaneous expenses and so on.

III. Project Risk Management

This section is dedicated to managing change during project execution. Clients know that a
proposal rarely covers everything that is required to achieve the given project, so change
management techniques are required. Establish how you will monitor project success
throughout its entire life cycle to show clients that when and if change occurs, the project will
not go haywire.
Issues and Risks
This part identifies the possible issues and risks of carrying out the project. What are challenges
foreseen once the project starts to kick off? This way, the project manager will be able to create
plans to make this project easy to execute.
Implications
What is the conclusion that can be drawn then in executing this project? How will this project
be able to address the rising concern that needs to be resolved? These questions should be
answered in this area.

IV. Success Criteria

This part should discuss the criteria one can say that the project is successful. Such criteria
should be measurable and observable.
