Develop a Business Case

About this Quick-Start Workshop

The Quick-Start Workshop to Develop a Business Case focuses on initiating a new IT project with the creation of a comprehensive Business Case. A Business Case describes the business problem / opportunity to be addressed by the project and the alternative solutions. The potential costs and benefits associated with each solution are also included. The Business Case becomes the foundation for the project as it fully describes the project, the reasons for creating the project and the key benefits to be produced by the project. 

Workshop Outcomes

• Define the business problem (or opportunity) that currently exists in the business and justifies the need for a technology change.
• Identify the alternative options for delivering an IT solution to resolve the problem.
• Quantify the benefits and costs associated with each alternative solution.
• Rate the overall feasibility of each solution by determining whether it is likely to resolve the problem or realize the opportunity.
• Identify any risks that may adversely affect the ability of the solution to produce the required deliverables.
• List the assessment criteria required to rate your alternative solutions and identify a rating mechanism to calculate a total score.
• Recommend a preferred solution and high-level implementation approach
