Before the detailed project work commences, you are required to produce a project propsal which will include project title, background information and plan of work for consideration prior to a formal project specification being developed with and approved by your supervisor.

Your project plan should be monitored at milestones during your project execution. You are expected to attend and prepare for regular weekly supervisor meetings and keep detailed logs. Any monitoring and adjustments to your plan should be clearly stated in your documentation.
