Getting Commitment and Buy-In
Overview
The intended outcome for this assignment is to get commitment and  buy-in from senior leadership/C-suite for your project. Remember this  document is one in a series of deliverables that can be used to move a  project forward. 
Starting with the feedback you received in the discussions in Unit  2, you will be building upon your project scope and charter documents to  create a project procurement plan that reflects the goals and  objectives for the project.
Start by forecasting the budgetary requirements for the project.
Cost Estimate
Based on the project’s objectives, in a workplace setting you would  use Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Project, or other appropriate software  of your choice to forecast the budgetary requirements for the project.  For the purposes of this assignment, use the Project Cost Estimate  template as a guide for your forecasting. You will find the template  linked in Resources.

As part of the budget, define the constraints, dependencies, and  assumptions. Also, forecast the time and resources required to  coordinate the work and meet project objectives.

Project Procurement Plan
Compose your document in the form and style that is expected by senior leadership in the scenario you selected in Unit 1. Note:  If your workplace does not have a prescribed format, search the  Internet for examples and select a style that best fits this assignment.
Be certain your written plan includes the following elements:

Refined project scope and project charter. 
A description of the processes for conducting and administering  procurement, including how the relevant procurement management tools and  techniques will be used.
Budgetary requirements: a summary of project cost estimates.      

Attach a cost estimate spreadsheet as an addendum to your plan.

A request for action.

Additional Requirements

Written communication: Your project procurement  plan should be professionally written in a form and style appropriate  for the intended audience. Consider the purpose of the document, its  intended use, and the setting in which your project is being executed.
Document format: Submit your project procurement  plan as a Microsoft Word document. You may embed other Microsoft files,  such as Excel files, in your document or submit them as attachments.
APA formatting: Resources and citations should be formatted according to current APA style and formatting standards.
