- What are you proposing?
You need to propose a set activities that are scoped properly and which clearly address the problem that you
have identified. It could be a short, one off task or a longer series of activities which span multiple collections.
Ask whether this is a 'capital' project - ie one off with a fixed completion point - or a 'revenue' activity which will
be ongoing and indefinite. You might illustrate it with a workflow diagram. It helps to provide three components - a
risk assessment for the tasks (ie what might go wrong); a quality plan (how will you check that it works); and criteria
for success (to prove it has worked).
