Project Business Case Development is the process by which an organisation assesses the feasibility and possible rewards of pursuing a certain project. It entails generating a detailed document that defines the project’s rationale, objectives, scope, expenses, risks, and estimated return on investment. The business case is a technique decision-makers use to determine whether a project matches the organisation’s strategic goals and is worthwhile in terms of resources, time, and effort.
This course is a two-day introductory online course and is presented by ECS using MS Teams for
