I'm looking for an example of a project plan for a business venture that I could apply to Microsoft Project. It should be the type of project that could draw investors and could be used to monitor, control, and forecast project results.
Project plan should:
- include detailed cost and revenue estimates along-with a schedule
- require financing prior to commencement
- be such that could generate revenue and profit once completed
- include a project proposal
The project Proposal should contain following sections, each of which contains a description and analysis interpretation:
1) Executive Summary/Proposal summarizing the content from the entire document with quantifiable highlights such as overall cost, duration, revenue, etc., while making the pitch to investors along with a request for needed funding.
2) WBS with proper grouping, indenting, and coding for approximately 25 to 40 tasks.
3) Cost Estimate for each task. Capital cost estimates should include building, franchise fees, equipment, and estimates for anything else required for the project. Cost estimating should justify the project by including an NPV analysis of costs vs. projected detailed revenue streams over a five year period with cash inflows and outflows over the project life. Start-up and other costs, and revenue streams, should be derived from detailed project cost estimates and sales forecasts.
4) Example of an advanced Cost Estimating Technique that would be applicable to the project and describes the use of an advanced technique (e.g. three-point, contingency estimating, etc.).
5) Cost Assumptions that include a list of assumptions made when deriving the estimates.
6) Schedule should be depicted in Microsoft Project Gantt chart schedule that includes the tasks, task relationships, task duration, and task resources.
