Project Proposal

Assignment 1 Part 5.a.ii asks you to complete a SWOT for your project proposal.

You can watch the following video (6 ½ minutes) to work out what a SWOT is and how to create one:

Non – Monetary Value

The measurement of value is different to the measurement of project performance. In commercial environments, the value of a project may be measured by how much additional profit the project will bring to an organisation. To measure financial value, techniques such as; return on investment; payback period; and net present value can be used. You will learn about these techniques later.

PRINCE2 uses terminology that may at first seem a bit confusing, because it justifies value of a project in the Business Case Theme.
