Purpose:
Most
projects need a proposal before a supervisor or manager can okay the work.
Your job is to do the preliminary work BEFORE spending lots of time and
effort on a job unnecessary on the wrong path.
Specifications:
Use
the template presented here as a basic format for your proposal.
Remember that a common proposal includes $ breakdown. How many working
hours the project will take, and sometimes you need to break down all
the tasks for the team members involved. You don't
need to do that for this paper. I want you to be
aware this template is not for every sort of proposal, but it's a good
general template.
