Proposals may vary slightly in terminology, but most proposals include the following: Title Page, Table of Contents, Executive Summary or Abstract, Introduction, Body/Discussion, Conclusions, Bibliography. Of these sections, the Body/Discussion should be the bulk of your proposal. This is the “meat” of the proposal where you’ll describe the research, process, and logistics of your project with the most detail (e.g. timeline, budget, challenges, design, implications, etc).
Remember that the primary audience for your report is upper management. However, for something like this you should also assume that it could be more widely distributed throughout your company. So you should keep this diverse audience in mind.
This assignment requires writing skills, organization, and time management. Completing this assignment offers practical use of technical writing skills gained throughout the readings, discussions, and exercises covered throughout this course. All of your previous assignments have been building towards this proposal, so if you have been working faithfully on all assignments to date, you should have a big head start.
The expected length for these proposals is approximately 7-10 pages, single-spaced. If you’re outside this range, you’re either providing too much or too little detail. Note that the 7-10 page expectation includes the title page, table of contents, executive summary or abstract, and bibliography, which should each be on their own page. You should also be incorporating highlighting techniques such as charts, graphs, bullet points, etc., which you’ll find quickly take up space.
