Sir: A project is a temporary activity undertaken to produce a unique product, service or result. This activity called project, has three clearly defined components to it, namely Time: A definitive start and end date. Cost is a basic element to definitive budget for the activity to take place. Scope, too has magnitude of work including the deliverable and/or goals that has to be accomplished. On the other hand, project management is a practice of applying knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to the project activities to achieve the project requirements effectively and efficiently. The problem that a project would set to solve is defined at a broadest sense. Problem in this context is not meant in a negative sense but a business case that would provide reasoning for initializing a project. The project manager, project team and the project board are appointed in this phase. The project board consists of representatives from each of the stakeholder’s groups. Planning phase gives a clearer view of what is to be done in a project. It involves planning for scope, time, cost, risk, quality, communication, human resources and procurements. This planning should be carried out by the project manager with the help of the whole project team and suppliers. In this phase, first, the scope is analysed completely. For which, the project manager conducts interviews to understand and document the stakeholders’ needs. After that, with the help of the project team, the project manager documents the detailed description of the product or service including the magnitude of work and all the deliverables, the project sets out to produce and, the strategy with which it is going be proceeded. A scope in a project is nothing but the proper planning which is made for the project which involves in determining and even documenting a list of specific project goals, deliverables, tasks and deadlines. The documentation which is made for the scope of the project clearly explains the boundaries of a project and also establishes the responsibilities for each team member and sets up procedures for how much the completed work will be verified and approved. The proposal writing process is multifaceted, encompassing both the actual submission of a request for proposal as well as the management of the implementation of received funds. Through class lectures and assigned readings, we’ve discussed the various aspects that make up the process of grant writing. Through this essay, I will explain this process as it leads up the management of the project once funded. Furthermore, this essay will explain how to ensure that the proposal submitted addresses key aspects necessary for the project to be implemented in line with best practices for project management. Grants are typically awarded for the purpose of providing a recipient, commonly referred to as the grantee, with funds given by a funding agency, typically referred to as the grantor. However, prior to the stage when an organization is deemed a grantee, the organization seeking funds must send a well- developed, well-thought out proposal or grant application to the agency or entity awarding the grant.
