Intranet Rollout Project Proposal
This is a practical guide to building a project proposal for an intranet rollout project — the document that pitches the project to decision-makers before it is approved, adapted to the realities of launching a company intranet or digital workplace.
What a Project Proposal is
A project proposal is the document that pitches the project to decision-makers before it is approved. For the full concept and how it works in general, see Project Proposal. On an intranet rollout project it plays the same role, tuned to this kind of work.
Why it matters for an Intranet Rollout project
Intranet Rollout projects live or die on launching a company intranet or digital workplace. A well-built project proposal gives the team a shared, explicit reference for exactly that — reducing ambiguity, aligning stakeholders, and making problems visible early enough to act. Skipping it, or doing it generically, is how intranet rollout projects drift into avoidable delay and cost.
What to include
- Problem or opportunity
- Proposed solution
- Scope and approach
- Cost and timeline
- Expected benefits
Intranet Rollout-specific considerations
Tailor the project proposal to the risks that most often derail intranet rollout projects:
- Content ownership
- Adoption
- Search and information architecture
Example
On a real intranet rollout project, the project proposal would be shaped by launching a company intranet or digital workplace. In particular, it should explicitly account for the project’s biggest risks — content ownership, adoption, search and information architecture — rather than treating them as afterthoughts.
