Format for Project Proposal
A. Project Name
B. Project Objective
What do you intend to show, prove, or develop? Which elements of the PCD process are the focus of the project? What is the purpose, who is the customer, and what is critical to success?
C. Project Deliverable
Is the result going to be a working system? - a prototype? - a design specification? - an evaluation? Be specific.
D. Project Team
Are you going to work alone or in a group? If the latter, who are the members and what roles will each person play?
E. Business Problem and Business Needs
State the business problem around which your project focuses. This should be a real problem that has meaurable performance gaps - in business and human terms. State specifically how you expect the PCD activities to contribute to filling the performance gaps.
F. Project Plan Outline
Delineate how your project will proceed from its onset to its conclusion. How will you measure progress (i.e., what are the interim deliverables and what are the review and approval processes)? When will you engage each element or subelement of the PCD process? How? If yours is a team project, what are the roles and responsibilities of each team member with respect to the project tasks and outcomes?
G. Presentation Proposal
How will you present your results? What (if any) equipment will be needed? Who will do what (if a team)? What would be the suggested evaluation criteria to fairly assess your expertise?
