Business Case

It all starts with a business case

Build the best value

business case

Business case is a

framework for details

The goal, the shape of the

outcomes, not the details

‘Just enough’ for

a mind’s eye of how it will be

‘Just enough’ for

compelling attraction

Value begins in

the business case

Milestone

Milestones,

not Gantt charts

Investment, Milestones & More

Investments,

not budgets

Vision, not

specifications

Details will

emerge

Teams with embedded customers

fill in the details

Performance Teams &

Customer Collaboration

Who’s in charge?

Value?

Customer is always in charge

Customer is the beneficiary

Customers set the value proposition

Project sponsor and/or investor establishes investment

Customer votes budget to value

Project management delivers the most value affordable

This way!
