Building Better Business Cases
1 Day(s) | $795
Project professionals often find themselves developing
business cases for the performing organization. When
asked to do so, it is critical to create a solid business
case. All too often, project teams are asked to implement
a solution before the underlying problem is known or
assessed. An essential ingredient to successful projects
is a clear and relevant business case. It provides both
insights into and a proposed solution for important
business needs. Strong business cases contain feasible
and effective ways of justifying and recommending
projects that squarely address business needs, both
problems and opportunities. Through this course, you
will learn a repeatable process that starts with identifying
business needs and ends with a strong business case.
You will learn and practice applying each step in a 5-part
approach to developing business cases. This course has
been approved by PMI for 7 PDUs and by IIBA for 7 CDUs.
