This is a webinar that I did for the Project Management Institute (PMI) in February 2021. Original slides can be found on this link: https://www.pmi.org.uk/events/webinar-library-current/1491-february-2021-best-practice-guidelines-and-templates-for-business-cases-by-helen-winter
Challenges to business cases are how to get the right level of detail so that senior management will be able to understand the main elements of the business case with their limited time but give them the confidence that enough analysis has gone into it that clarifies enough assumptions for it to be valid.
In this session I cover the following:
- Define the structure of a business case
- Levels of detail and formats of business cases
- Techniques and templates that can be used in a business case for:
- Defining the problem
- Setting out the scope
- Benefits analysis
- Solution Options
- Project approach and deliverables
- Risks and Issues
- Cost analysis and assumptions
- Dependencies
- Impacts on target operating model
