Overview
Projects, in their simplest form, are the tactical initiatives that an organization takes on to help it reach it strategic goals. No more; no less. To put it as a question, why would an organization take on a project if it does not lead to or put it in a position to meet its longer term goals?
The business case is what provides justification for moving forward with any endeavor within an organization. Without it, a project will not (and should not) be initiated!
The end goal of this session is to provide the project or team leader with better insight into structuring a business that helps increase the organization’s ability to deliver on relevant and realistic project commitments.
