Executive Overview [Author]: Write a brief paragraph that summarizes specific information required for the executives reading the document. This brief profile states what the project is, what you intend to do, and how. This summary will convey a lasting impression of you and your company, and lets others assess your chances of success.

It is also important to be innovative, especially in situations where the project’s need does not fit within the traditional guidelines of project management (outlined in the PMBOK® Guide). The following information should be included.
- Summary overview of project description
Project planned start and end dates
Business need and benefits
- Project stakeholders
Project milestones
Planned overall budget
- Background: Research the internet or other sources to identify the background information on the client and/or product. Provide any historical information available on the project that might be helpful for the project stakeholders’ knowledge (for example, type of business, client customers, product and service offerings, etc.). Discuss any subtle nuances that are different and need to be addressed by the project team, specifically if a new way of managing the project is required for the industry selected.
- Objective: Must be a quantifiable statement, establishing the criteria that must be met for the project to be considered successful. The objective should be stated as: To... do something... by month xx, year.
- Scope Statement [Author]: Create a project scope statement that provides the scope for the project.
- This is based on the requirements, deliverables, assumptions, and constraints identified by the stakeholders.
- Discuss complexities related to the scope, especially ones driven by project need, industry, stakeholders, or any other project constraint.
