The ideal proposal form fits on a single page, so top-level
stakeholders can quickly understand a project’s costs and benefits. Proposals
that require reams of details can always use a single page proposal form as
both a cover sheet and an approval form. A one-page project planning form
should cover the outcomes and benefits of a project, as well as the resources
necessary to make it a reality. Requesting a signature from key stakeholders
starts a trail of accountability which will become crucial later in the project
cycle.
