    Hi, for the vision part – can you give an example of "tying your vision into the companies long-term plan" I am having trouble seeing how this looks in real life. Thank you.

    Actually, I watched the vedio many times, and I found something needs your respectful answer, in the vedio, it is not mentioned why the decision-,makers have to choose the project proposed not else, what I mean is don't you think that we have to make like an alternative analysis so that we can cite and prove that what we have proposed is the best choice for the decision maker. thank you.

    Timestamps:

    1. Problem – Critical to state a solid 'what's the problem' statement with specific examples including costs associated with it, as it's the filter for decision makers to accept or reject your proposal – 1:33
    2. Vision – Directly tie your project with long range goals and organization strategies – 2:55
    3. Benefits – Expand on the Vision statement: What will your project deliver, cost to avoid – 3:28
    4. Deliverables – What will users receive? – 3:50
    5. Success Criteria – It has to be specific, measurable, realistic, achievable, and time bound – 4:15
    6. Deadlines/Plan/Approach – Detail what'll the project use as means/tools to achieve results. It'll use an Agile approach, or a more traditional Waterfall method – 4:45
    7. Cost/Budget – State the funding plan for the project based on the above listed items – 5:17

    Be specific and concise. It has to logically flow. But mainly lobby for your project before and after presenting your proposal.
