What is a Project Description?
A project description is a high-level overview of why you’re doing a project. The
document explains a project’s objectives and its essential qualities.
How to Write a Project Description?
Although writing a project description will vary somewhat depending on the type
of project, the basic process is the same. The following 10 steps are key to writing a
good project description.
1. Summarize: Write a one- or two-paragraph explanation of what the project
aims to accomplish. Avoid delving deep into background or past projects. A good
project summary will not only serve as your elevator speech, but will also help you
clarify larger issues with your plan.
2. Define: Describe the problem or opportunity and how the project will address
it.
• Set goals: Identify SMART project objectives, defined as follows:
• Specific: Answer who, what, when, where, and why.
• Measurable: Include metrics for defining success.
• Achievable: Set goals that are possible to accomplish with the available
resources.
• Relevant: Goals should be aligned with your organization’s mission.
• Time-bound: Include intermediate and final deadlines for each goal.
3. Explain: Briefly explain your methodology. Include any key technologies or
project management techniques you’ll use and why they’re appropriate.
4. Measure: Identify the project deliverables. How will you measure success and
evaluate the project?

5. Schedule: Include a general timeline, with project phases and milestones. Be


sure to note any important deadlines.
6. Budget: Include the total estimated cost of the project and how much you have
budgeted. (Note that this shouldn’t be a line item budget.) Use a project budget template
for a more detailed breakdown of budgeted and actual project expenses.
7. Get feedback: Seek feedback from key stakeholders, customers, and anyone
impacted by the project for feedback. Ask them to explain the project in their own
words to get a sense of how clearly you’ve communicated the vision.
8. Peer Review: Have someone else read the project description. In addition to
spelling and grammatical errors, ask them to look for missing details that are significant
to the project.
9. Revise: Update and revise the document as the project progresses. Treat the
project description as a living document.

1. Select and Write your system (project) definition with brief introduction.
