Business Case Template - an MS Word template with pre-set fonts, styles, chapter headers and guidelines.

 

In order to access this template from the “File/New” menu, change the file extension to ".dot" and copy the file in the MS Word template folder. For MS Word 2003 this folder is: "C:\Documents and Settings\Your Username\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates” . Then when you want to create a new document using this template you will follow these steps: “File/New” then on the right hand side of the screen select “On my computer...” and choose this template from the “General” tab on the “Templates” window that pops up.

The goal of a business case document is to capture the rationale for starting a project or task. Usually, it is a well-structured written document which outlines how the given project/initiative supports the business and adds value to the business.

if
- you like to assess different solutions against quantified requirements in your business case in a rational way,
- or you want to measure (not guess) business value

... use impact estimation tables.

Here's a template in ENGLISH: http://theagileengineer.com/public/Tools/Entries/2008/9/23_Impact_Estimation_for_Measurable_Business_Value.html

Here's a template in GERMAN: http://planetproject.wikidot.com/ietabletemplate

On the face of it the templates looks good. However when you start to use it I found it difficult to understand how to capture the various options considered within this document structure. So for example , where does the following information go :
1) A description of all the options and the ones you rulled out for further analysis
2) costing analysis for the options you chose to assess
Overall I don't feel this template flows. Has promise but fails to deliver.

Can anyone suggest a better template? Does PMI have one? I will check. Anyone with strong business case experience please contact me.
