Building an Effective Business Case with guest speaker Stephen McCormick
What are the true costs and eventual benefits of an organization’s projects? While benefits may only be realized a number of years in the future, BAs need to develop, communicate and present business cases that demonstrate how an endeavour will meet their organization’s needs - before the detailed work starts!
Thoroughly researched and clearly communicated business cases provide higher quality information that result in better management and project decisions. Conversely, cases that are poorly constructed or poorly communicated yield less-than-optimum decisions.
We will discuss the fundamental purpose of a business case, how to differentiate between tangible and intangible costs and benefits, and how effective business cases can support executive decision-making even when the costs and benefits are hard to quantify.
Expect to walk away with valuable tips on how you can maximise the chances that your business case will be accepted.
