Map your technical objectives to the tasks, milestones, success criteria, and resources needed for your proposed project.
A well-organized research plan (technical R&D plan, work plan statement of work) starts with clearly identifying the technical objectives (aims, hypotheses) that you want to achieve in your Phase I feasibility or proof of concept project. This planning tool will help you map out the technical challenges you plan to overcome, the tasks/experiments, the milestones and success metrics you'll use to measure go/no-go decisions as well as the resources (people, materials, facilities/equipment) needed to carry out a successful project.
