and Management
FISH 411

2. What is a project proposal?
• Project proposal are the initial steps to get the project of the
ground. Here we outline how to write an effective proposal to
keep your projects on track.
• Project proposal is a document that outlines everything
stakeholders need to know to initiate a project.
• Well-written project proposal informs and persuades, and
combines project management skills with a few other
essential skills: research, data analysis, and some
copywriting.

3. Steps to writing your own project proposal
• Step 1: Define the problem
• Step 2: Present your solution
• Step 3: Define your deliverables and success criteria
• Step 4: State your plan or approach
• Step 5: Outline your project schedule and budget
• Step 6: Tie it all together
• Step 7: Edit/proofread your proposal

4. Step 1: Define the problem
• What’s the problem your project is trying to address?Why is it worth
solving? Make your audience see the problem the way you see it.
Tips for defining the problem:
• Start strong. Decision-makers usually don’t allot much time to look
over a proposal, so make sure that the pain point is succinctly
described and in a manner that resonates with them.
• Use facts, not opinion. Although you want your audience to
understand the severity of a problem, you don’t want to exaggerate.
Instead, use data from your research to back up your assertions.

5. Step 2: Present your solution
• How will your project solve the problem?Why is your solution the better option over
other similar solutions?
Tips for presenting your solution:
• Anticipate questions and objections. Be prepared to defend your solution from all
angles. Be ready to explain why your more expensive solution is better than a less
expensive one, for example.
• Present the solution’s larger impact. Stakeholders generally get more
excited about projects with wide-ranging effects than those with limited impact.
• Again, facts over opinion. Provide as many research-backed examples as you can

6. Step 3: Define your deliverables and
success criteria
This section provides a picture of the functions and attributes of the
deliverable, plus how to know if the project is successful.
Tips for defining deliverables:
• Include a delivery date. Define what your project will deliver and what
community can expect from it.
• Your solution must be SMART.Your success criteria will signal whether
the project has been successful. Remember to keep your solution SMART
(specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound.)

7. Step 4: State your plan or approach
This is the most critical section of the proposal and discusses how to
achieve the project’s objectives. It starts with an explanation of the
approach and why it’s relevant and effective.
Tips for planning:
• Introduce project strategies. This is your opportunity to discuss the
"why" behind the decisions you're making to get the project completed.
• Explain how problems will be addressed. This explains your project
management plan's risk mitigation strategies.

8. Step 5: Outline your schedule and budget
This is the section where you break down project costs and detail how you will meet
deadlines.
Tips for defining a schedule and budget:
• Provide as much detail as possible. Break your budget down into categories.
Include all overhead and indirect costs. A detailed financial breakdown will signal
to stakeholders that you’ve done your research and don’t intend to waste their
money. Note that certain projects may require financial statements and funding
sources.
• Be concrete. Don’t guess. Provide project start and end times, and if certain
sections of the project can be done simultaneously.

9. Step 6:Tie it all together
• End your proposal with a conclusion that briefly summarizes the
problem, solution, and benefits. Emphasize the significant
parts, and make your proposal stand out by restating ideas or
facts you want your audience to remember.
• Check your proposal for consistency of ideas and whether the
elements support each other.

10. Step 7: Edit/proofread your proposal
Rewrite your proposal as necessary to make it interesting, helpful,
clear, and persuasive. Ask for feedback, and ensure the proposal is
organized and visually appealing.
Tips for editing:
• Check the tone and language.Your proposal is intended for a
certain audience type, so make sure the tone and language used
are reflective of that. Don’t forget to proofread for grammar,
punctuation, or spelling mistakes.You want your proposal to look
professional.
