The next subsections to focus on drafting are your purpose statement and nature of the doctoral project or dissertation-in-practice. Your focus should be on defining the purpose of your study and providing a summary of the nature of the doctoral project or dissertation-in-practice in the respective subsections. Concentrate on developing clear alignment between the previously developed subsections in Section 1. Your project design is effectively aligned to the problem statement when it ensures that the selected methods will actually measure what they are intended to measure and validates your project topic and design.
