Project Proposal Template

Version 2.0

Mr. Ahmed Abul Hussain


Project Proposal Format

Proposal Format:

The purpose of this document is to present your project idea to your project
supervisor/instructor with enough details to convince him about your idea and get it
approved.

Before you decide on a project and prepare a proposal, identify the people you want to work
with – people with the right attitude and skills and who are team players. Discuss ideas in a
group meeting and also have a brainstorming session. This will help you in looking at an
idea from different angles/perspectives and in identifying requirements and constraints.

General guidelines:

 Form a team and select a group leader


 Choose an appropriate and attractive title for your project
 Clearly state the main project idea – this is your problem statement
o Describe why you have chosen this idea
o Describe the benefits it brings and the problems it solves
 Identify project requirements and constraints – this will be your project scope
 Identify what resources you will require in order to complete your project in the
allotted duration – team members you will need, cost of parts you will require,
hardware and software tools, etc.
 Describe how you plan to solve these problems – design methodology
 Prepare a project plan in the form of a Gantt chart. A project without a plan will most
likely fail (remember: “if you fail to plan – then plan to fail”)
o Breakdown your project into a set of tasks required to complete the project.
o Estimate the time duration for each task and assign tasks to team members
o Define the role of each team member

The required format for your proposal is given below.

1. Cover page: include a cover page (see next section).

2. Problem Statement/Abstract: Describe briefly and clearly the main idea of your
project, why you have chosen it and what benefits it bring or problems it solves.

3. Project Scope: In this section you define the scope of your project – what you plan
on doing as well as what you are not doing. Identify the requirements specifications
and constraints.

4. Introduction: Provide the necessary background to the project idea including the
overall objectives, design specifications and approach.

5. Design Methodology: In this section you describe the methodology/approach you


will adopt in your project in order to meet your project objectives. Use
diagrams/figures to illustrate preliminary ideas for your system design.

6. Project Plan: In this section, you describe how you are going to manage your
project. Show your project plan in the form of a Gantt chart.

 Breakdown your project into a set of tasks required to complete the project.
 Estimate the time duration for each task and assign tasks to team members.
 Define the role of each team member.

Note: Your project plan will most likely change during the course of your project.
Know that this is normal/expected.

7. Proposed Budget: In this section, you outline an estimate of the budget for the
project which includes cost of parts, components, software tools, etc.

8. Project Deliverables: In this section, you list out the expected project deliverables
(results or outcomes) such as a product, detailed design documents, a final report,
publications, etc. The success of the project depends on producing these
deliverables and the project team will be responsible for the same.

9. Conclusions: Write briefly about why you think your idea is good, how important it
is in terms of solving a real-world problem, its benefits and its limitations.

10. References: List all the references you have cited in the write-up. Refer to the
document “General guidelines for writing Technical Reports” for guidance on citing
references.

Cover Page: Your proposal must have a cover page with the following information:

 Name of department and university
