PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

Outline the major outcomes the study was conducted to deliver. The summary below should self-evidently demonstrate that these objectives were addressed by the study and that recommendations are consistent with the findings of the study.

PROJECT SCOPE

Included: Delineate the scope of the study for the reader, e.g., “The project scope included developing architectural plans, cost estimates, and construction schedule for a new student center on the Pendleton Campus. Parking logistics during construction were also included in the scope and cost of the project.”

Excluded: Call attention to issues/areas declared out-of-scope for the project, e.g. “The project did not examine the possibility of locating a student center at any other campus location due to funding restrictions of local governments.”
