Business Case Writing Training Course

---

Business case writing is a fine art. A business case is a formal document of record that conveys to the decision-maker the options and merits of a particular course of action. When approved it becomes a document of record. In all cases, a business case should be clear, concise, and accurate. Well-written business cases are persuasive and powerful documents.

The purpose of a Business Case is to secure approval for expenditure, and in many cases this occurs prior to the development of an agreed / detailed project scope.

For most organizations, the business case provides a formal vehicle to select and agree an option or course of action. One or more options may then be progressed further. In many cases a business case will authorize the funds necessary to undertake more detailed planning activities leading to a second-pass approval.
