Hi All,

Good that you are thinking outside of just what is required. That being said, remember to make sure you clearly cover the criteria. Just to reiterate the steps that you have covered in an order that may flow alright:

1. Project description (as a smart goal) and project plan description (inc. key stakeholders and key components)

2. Scope of the project - what is and isn't covered in the project (this probably should be a summary of the tasks you have listed)

3. Roles & responsibilities for team members (a blurb about each would be good, as well as how you integrate work together)

4. Tasks - Lists of tasks needed to complete the project would be good here (inc SWOT/smart perhaps) and as definite as possibly

5. Plan - When are the tasks done, how long and by who (Gantt chart would be useful here)

6. Cost Summary - Costs (link this to the plan and the tasks)

7. Expectation Management - How will you communicate between youselves, clients, users to manage the expectations of the system (this will most probably be covered tomorrow).

8. Appendicies - If there is any information you have that doesn't necessarily fit in the end.

Something like that (which is a culmination of your tasks + the criteria sheet) could work well. I would create a professional report if possible (it just looks better and makes it less throw-away as you go through the project). Definitely google each of the sections independently (there should be articles on each), may help you streamline what is required.

Hope that helps, yell if there are any problems understanding my spam.

cheers
