A business case provides a framework for the planning and management of organisational change. The ongoing viability of the programme or project is monitored against the business case.

 

It is a live document, typically setting out the case for committing resources by explaining:

 

• What the business need is

• What benefits are expected and how they are aligned with business strategy

• What factors are critical for a defined successful outcome

• Why a particular option is preferred from among the others

• How external resources will be sourced and why this offers the best deal

• How funding will be provided and whether the cost will be affordable

• When and how the benefits will be delivered

• What the risks are and how they will be managed
