Business Case

A business analysis deliverable that provides management with the information they need to make an investment decision for a given solution.

Projects cannot exist without a financial investment and time/resource commitments from the management of the company.

The business case document gives management all the information they need to decide whether a certain solution makes financial sense for the company to invest in.  If management decies that the cost-benefit analysis perform makes business sense, then they will normally approve the initiative to give the project the go-ahead needed to execute.

Project sponsors, project manager managers, and business analysts typically work together to build the business case. The business analyst plays a key role in determining the following aspects of the business case:

  • • Clearly defined the business problem being addressed.
  • • Provide an overview of the solutions explored, and more details on the scope of the solution being recommended.

The True Value of Business Analysis.

Three short lessons to show you how business analysts link organizational silos to create business/IT alignment.
