Draft Proposals are a way for businesses to organize ideas, plans and costs related to future projects. They allow for an initial assessment of the proposed work, allowing for creative brainstorming and broad conversations about the potential project. The format of a draft proposal includes sections such as title, background information, objectives, deliverables, timeline, budget estimate, implementation plan, evaluation plan and stakeholder roles. This format allows business owners and managers to develop comprehensive proposals that accurately identify the scope of the project and its associated costs – making it easier to decide if the project is worth pursuing.
