Planning a research project requires a detailed project proposal describing the objectives and
tasks that need to be accomplished to reach a particular goal. Think of it as a product that you
are selling to your consumers but through a detailed written proposal. With the JotForm Project
Proposal template, you can be sure that your proposal is presented in a professional way. The
Free Project Proposal template we have available has all the information that clients would
normally look for a proposal presentation. Information such as an overview of the project,
description, goals, expected outcomes, and many more. You can edit this information, change
layouts and add more details to meet the requirements of your project.
Project Proposal Tips
1. Keep it Simple/Estimate – ain’t nobody got time for a proposal that’s 3+ pages
long.
2. Make a Hypothesis – don’t just talk about your plan. Provide an estimated
outcome. And it better be positive.
3. Include an Appendix – extra information belongs in an appendix.
4. Outline the Budget – this will not only help your decision-maker come to a
conclusion, but it will help keep you on track.
5. Include Deadlines and set realistic expectations about when stakeholders
should expect to see results.
6. Tailor it to who you’re writing for – CEOs need different information than
CFOs who need different information than CMOs. Keep this in mind while drafting
a proposal.
