The proposed Project could be based on a new facility to expand the business, an update to existing assets, a new business idea, marketing a new/existing product or combination of all or any of these.

The Plan in this instance should include a justification for the project as well. Your justification should cover the wider range of issues introduced in the Project Management classes, including the financial considerations that clearly demonstrate the costings and value of the Project to the organisation. If your organisation is a not-for-profit, you will still need to establish relevant costings, for example how your Project proposal reduces costs or otherwise meets organisational objectives.

To start, consider the following two questions:

What Project are you planning to introduce? Why does the organisation need this Project (what problem or opportunity will it solve)?

Deliverables: -Develop a file to include the following deliverables:

-An introduction describing your organisation and the market(s) in which it operate(s). The justification of the need for the proposed Project -How and what ideas were generated for the Project, and how they were subsequently assessed and screened relative to customer needs and organisational goals (including financials) and capacities -Justify demand for your Project -A description of the overall project with a full action plan -Fully detailed scope management plan which includes the WBS Stakeholder Management Plan -HRM Plan including Organisation chart, RACI matrix and resource histogram -Schedule baseline using MS Project which clearly indicates CPA and valid network -Risk Management plan including the risk register -Cost Management plan with bottom up budget, cost baseline and valid 'S'- Curve -Procurement plan including the six steps with good attention to proposal evaluation -Communications plan including the communications register This criterion is linked to a learning outcomeProject introduction and Justification (Have the Project justification and problem been appropriately described).
