After selecting a project topic, describe the project. For example: "The goal of this project is to produce a blockbuster movie based on the life of Buckminster Fuller, the famous architect, author, designer, theorist, and inventor."

Proposed Timeline

Instructions:

Using MS Project, create a first-level work breakdown, including major deliverable milestones and preliminary resource inputs. Then, insert the timeline into the Word document.

Budget

Put your preliminary resources into MS Project and then insert the resource report into your proposal document.

Benefits
