Business Cases are a crucial element of making better business decisions about where to invest, whether for new products, market expansions, marketing programs or capital investments. It’s not just about saying yes, but also about saying no to those investments that may not be worthwhile. Do you have too many projects going through the pipeline? Feel like you never have enough resources to get the right things done? Do development projects consistently miss their promised launch dates? These can all be symptoms of a less than robust Business Case process and methodology in your organization.
