Contents
Part A: Letter of Transmittal
Part B: Project Proposal
The purpose of parts A and B is to demonstrate
competency in communicating your technical solution to
different less technical audiences. Follow the Task 2
Template.
Part A - Convince senior leadership to approve your
project.
Part B - Implementation plan for IT leadership (but not
CS experts) or middle management.
Part D, explains the CS-related aspects of your project. With
the exception of the User Guide, all sections should target
the computer science subject-matter experts. This is not a
business project, and neither does the rubric have any
qualitative business criteria for parts A and B. As such, parts
A and B aspects such as budgets, methodology, and
, planning parts are not assessed rigorously from a business
perspective.
Part A: Letter of
Transmittal
Write a letter convincing senior leadership to approve your
project -a brief cover letter (suggested length 1-2 pages)
describing the problem, how the application (part C)
applies to the problem, the practical benefits to the
organization, and a brief implementation plan. Include all
artifacts typical of a professional (business) letter, e.g.,
subject line, date, greeting, signature, etc. Write
everything in the future tense.
The letter should be concise and target a non-technical
audience. Include the following:
A summary of the problem.
A proposed solution centering around your
application.
How the proposed solution benefits the organization.
A summary of the costs, timeline, data, and any ethical
concerns (if relevant).
