1. Overview 1.
Executive Summary
The first step to completing a Project Execution Plan is to write an Executive Summary. This section will summarize the entire document by describing the background for the project and the proposed Vision, Goals and Timeframes. So summarize each of the sections in this document concisely by outlining the:
History, requirements and proposed solution Project vision, goals deliverables and timeframes Resources, budget and success criteria.
[Write your content here] i.
Background
1. History/ Lessons Learned Before describing the proposal in depth, you need to provide a brief historical view of the related projects, so that it sets the context upon which the project will be initiated. As this is the basis upon which the project is created, you need to describe all of the relevant history that has taken place up until now.
[Write your content here] 2. Requirements From the lessons learned stated above if you have any requirements to avoid problem or risk areas, you can mention them here. [Write your content here] ii.
Proposal
In the background section above, you have described the general basis upon which the project will be created. You've described the problem or opportunity that exists in the business and the solution that the project needs to deliver. In this section, it is now time to describe the project that you are proposing is initiated.
iii. Vision and Goals State the vision and goals of the project. They need to be “Smart” which means Specific , Measurable, Action orientated, Realistic and Time based. Where possible, try and link in the business problem or opportunity into the Vision so that the project team knows exactly what is being solved by the vision. [Write your Vision here]

Budget

5. Risk Management Describe the procedure to be used for managing risks in the project. The procedure should specify who is responsible for risk management, when risk situation is regularly considered (e.g. at each project status meeting), and which r oles risks are communicated to, etc. Also refer to the Risk Management Plan (or Risk Sheet) where the risks are listed, assessed, and mitigation and contingency is defined.
3. Risk Assessment The initial Risk Assessment (following page) attempts to identify, characterize, prioritize and document a mitigation approach relative to those risks which can be identified prior to the start of the project. The Risk Assessment will be continuously monitored and updated throughout the life of the project, with monthly assessments included in the status report (see Communications Plan) and open to amendment by the Project Manager.

PROJECT EXECUTION PLAN
Project Name
Because mitigation approaches must be agreed upon by project leadership (based on the assessed impact of the risk, the project’s ability to accept the risk, and the feasibility of mitigating the risk), it is necessary to allocate time into each Steering Committee meeting, dedicated to identifying new risks and discussing mitigation strategies. The Project Manager will convey amendments and recommended contingencies to the Steering Committee monthly, or more frequently, as conditions may warrant.
