1. Introduction
[ You may give here a brief overview of this section, or simply remove this note. ]
1.1Background to the Project
[ Give here some information about the client and the issues which gave rise to this project,
or if there is no client explain the problem area addressed and the potential users who may
benefit from the proposed solution. ]
1.2Project Objectives
[ List the main objectives of your project.
1.3Overview of This Report
[ Optional section briefly outlining the structure and content of this report. ]
[ Note: this template assumes a “business” type project, but even these vary considerably
and you should feel free to use whatever report structure you consider most appropriate for
your own project. However, we expect all reports to have the same “outer” structure with
only the “middle” sections differing substantially. Thus all reports should start with an
Introduction and finish with a Conclusions section. We also expect all reports to have a
Project Management section, although this need not have any particular position in the
section order.
What follows is a sample of report sections, not to be taken too literally or too seriously.
