The primary purpose of a business case is to justify the investment in a project. This justification

involves providing a rationale for why the project should be undertaken, detailing the benefits that

are expected to be realized, and explaining how these benefits align with organizational goals and

strategies. The business case will typically include:

Executive Summary: A brief overview of the project and its strategic importance.

Problem Statement: Explanation of the issue or opportunity that the project addresses.

Options Considered: Different approaches to solving the problem or seizing the opportunity,

including a preferred option.

Cost-Benefit Analysis: Detailed financial analysis showing the costs and benefits associated with the

project.

Risk Assessment: Identification and evaluation of risks, with plans for mitigating them.

Implementation Timeline: A high-level schedule for the project's execution.

The business case does not focus on confirming delivery, describing accrued benefits post-

implementation, or capturing learning points from project increments, as these are aspects related

to project execution and post-implementation review.
