various sub-concepts, tasks, or project stages.

2. Business Case / Feasibility Study (2 pages):

o A concise document assessing the viability of the project,


highlighting its purpose, potential benefits, and financial
implications. Key areas:

 Market Opportunity: What problem does the project


solve?

 Cost-Benefit Analysis: Will the benefits outweigh the


costs?

 Risk Assessment: What are the risks, and how can they
be mitigated?

 Funding and Resources: Can the project be funded with


available resources?

3. Projected Plan (PBS/WBS + Coding):

o PBS (Project Breakdown Structure): Organize the project's


deliverables and break them down into manageable components.

o WBS (Work Breakdown Structure): Break the tasks required


to complete each deliverable into smaller, actionable units.

o Coding: Assign unique codes to the elements in the WBS to help


with tracking.

4. Network Diagram:

o A visual representation of project activities, showing the


sequence of tasks and their dependencies. It helps with
identifying critical paths and managing the overall project
schedule. Tools like Microsoft Project or specialized software can
help build these diagrams.

5. Action Plan:
o A detailed roadmap of the steps needed to achieve the project
objectives. It includes:

 Tasks and sub-tasks.

 Responsibilities.

 Deadlines.

entire project. This includes:

 Direct costs (e.g., labor, materials).

 Indirect costs (e.g., overhead).

 Contingency funds for unforeseen expenses.

9. Cash Flow:

o A projection of when and how cash will come into and go out of
the project. This ensures that the project has the necessary
liquidity to continue without interruption. It should match the
timing of costs and revenue generation.
10. Risk Management:

mitigation strategies. Risks can be categorized into:
