Overview of the Project Summary Chapter

The Project Summary chapter is an important part of a custom proposal document. It serves as the concise recapitulation of what has been discussed in the proposal, providing a clear summary of the project's scope, objectives, and the solutions provided. This chapter is placed at the end of a proposal, helping to reinforce the key points and conclusions, ensuring that these critical elements linger in the reader's mind as they make their decision.

How is the Project Summary Chapter Used?

In the structure of a business proposal, the Project Summary chapter is used as the concluding statement. It mirrors the function of an executive summary but differs in placement and purpose. While the executive summary is designed to hook the reader with a preview of what's to come, the Project Summary chapter is used to underline what has already been presented. This ensures that the most compelling points are fresh in the reader's memory. It's particularly useful for readers who may skim through the detailed sections but require a concise overview to aid their decision-making.

What is Included in the Project Summary Chapter?

Typically, the Project Summary chapter includes:

  • A Recap of the Project Scope: Outlining what the project entails and reminding the reader of the breadth of the project.
  • Objectives and Goals: Summarizing the main goals that the project aims to achieve.
  • Major Solutions Proposed: Highlighting the key solutions or strategies proposed in the document.
  • Expected Outcomes: Briefly noting what outcomes or benefits the client can anticipate from the project.
  • Call to Action: Often, a subtle call to action is included to nudge the reader towards making a decision.

 

Use Case Examples for the Project Summary Chapter

  • In a construction proposal: Summarizing the building plans, expected completion time, and safety measures.
  • For a marketing campaign: Recapping the campaign goals, target audience, and expected impact.
  • In a technology upgrade proposal: Detailing the software or hardware solutions offered and the efficiency improvements.
  • For a research project: Outlining the research objectives, methodology, and potential implications of the findings.
  • In a grant proposal: Highlighting the community benefits, objectives, and sustainability of the project.

The Project Summary template is used to summarize the proposal at the end and present your conclusions.

The Executive Summary summarizes what you are going to tell them, the rest of the proposal tells them about the entire project, and the Project Summary recaps what you told them.
