What I Want You to Do

Assess your Proposal Memo by completing this checklist, which lists the Proposal Memo Criteria. You can complete the checklist as many times as you like to see how your work compares to the expectations for the project.

Why I Want You to Do It

In the workplace, you should be able to compare your work against a list of specifications to determine if your project is complete. This checklist works in just that way: You should be able to confirm every one of the project criteria in the checklist before you consider the project complete.
