What Are Business Case Templates?

Business cases are used to justify the need to invest and get approval from stakeholders and decision-makers. They can be used to justify a new project, change to an existing one, decide to go ahead with or cancel a project. Business cases are used in the private, public, and non-profit sectors. They are used to justify projects in small and large organizations.

The problem is that business cases are time-consuming to prepare, especially for someone who has never prepared one before.

Business case templates provide a proven structure for building, developing, evaluating, and writing the business case and its recommendations.  Business case templates serve as a valuable resource to use across all your projects. Some organizations have different business case templates designed for various types and sized projects. The business case document needs to communicate the recommendations and the strategic rationale. It should enclose enough information for decision making.
