Editor's Notes

  • #8 Capture all requests, from work orders to discretionary projects Standardize metrics, valuation criteria and templates Control investment through governance workflow
  • #14 Create the caseAnalyses and determine best scenarioEnsures project/initiative aligns with the strategic objectivesFeasibility of support (Sponsor/Stakeholders)Financial and organizational benefitsPresent business caseThe proposal and supporting justification for doing a project, delivered to upper management in the form of a presentation and supporting written report. The complete Business Case is made up of the following 2 deliverables:· Business Case Report · Business Case Presentation See the definitions of these two deliverables for the detailed content description of the Business Case.Tips and TricksWhen you are developing the business case, the first step is to make sure that the deliverables of the initiative are actually aligned to the strategic business objectives.  If they aren’t, then your business case will be dead in the water before you even start to build it.  Use the following questions as a high-level guide to help to determine if there is alignment between the initiative and the business objectives.  Define the Initiative What is it you actually want to create or accomplish?  Is it a project? A program? An operational upgrade?  Evaluate the problemWhat is the objective?  What are the requirements? What is the strategy of how the business case will be developed? Define the Scope and Boundaries What is the time period for it? Who will be affected? What are the included and excluded costs? What is the scope of the analysis? At this early stage, if you are unable to answer any of these questions at the high level, you may need to take more time to research the initiative.  The more clearly and simply you are able to answer these questions, the greater the likelihood of the success of the business case.
