 WHAT IS PROJECT PROPOSAL ?
A project proposal is a tool which you can use to influence people to
achieve what you want.

A project proposal is a document that is written for problem solving, service

provision, event planning, or equipment selling. Generally, proposals are used to
convince the reader to do what the proposal suggests, such as buying goods or
services, funding a project, or implementing a program.

Proposals in the professional world are used for internal (within an

organization) and external (from one organization to another)
purposes. They are ways of generating income for companies or
seeking funding for projects. This is provided to the sponsor of the
project for approval.
