Project Proposal
3 Project proposal objectives
Tony Allan
This chapter supports the development of Assignment 1 Parts 4.a.i. and 4.a.ii.
Assignment 1 provides a background that will guide your development of a scope for your project. You will need to create an idea/concept/solution to a problem, that can be turned into a project. PRINCE2 defines a project as, “a temporary organisation that is created for the purpose of delivering one or more business products according to an agreed business case.”
In very plain language, projects have:
- Clearly defined start and finish dates. They are temporary.
- They differ from conducting normal business. They are unique.
It is a common mistake among past students to develop project proposals that are inappropriate because they are more like business plans for normal ongoing operational businesses. Please avoid making this mistake.
