By using well-crafted templates, you can improve the overall quality of your business case document.
Our templates are designed for those writing their business case and want to ensure that you are doing it correctly. In addition, they will help you stay organized as you write your business case.
Investing in a set of proven business case templates will ensure that you follow the proper format, saving you time and improving your business case quality!
Our Workbook encompasses all reliable templates and worksheets, aiding you in planning, structuring, and composing your business case. Additionally, it offers guidance on infusing more rigor into your analysis and suggestions, ensuring your stakeholders are convinced of the recommendation's merit.
The second template, the business case document template, saves precious time. Instead of starting from scratch, this structured document focuses on only the pertinent details essential for sound recommendations. This structured layout ensures alignment with organizational priorities, promising value for investment and a manageable risk level.
The Business Case Template (Microsoft Word document 18 pages) contains:
- Executive Summary
- Project Definition
- Business Requirements
- Evaluation of Options
- Preferred Option
- Strategic Logic of Project
- Benefits
- Risks
- Project Stages & Duration
- Financial Analysis
- Estimate of Project Team Resources
- Project Authorisation
- Appendices
- Effective presentation techniques.
- Alignment of suggestions with business goals.
- Identifying and addressing key stakeholders.
If the presentation fails to inspire confidence, your business case might not see the light of day.
For significant investments and high-risk projects, the preliminary business is the first step in making the full business case. Preliminary business cases determine if the full business case is required, where the project merits are investigated in full detail. The preliminary business case cost estimates have a 20% tolerance, whereas the full business case costings have less than a 10% tolerance.
Cost-benefit analysis is one of the most critical parts of a business case as it is often the costs or savings a project yields which achieves the final approval to go forward. We use a set of discounted cash flow templates for financial, scenario and sensitivity analysis.
The detailed financial spreadsheets show precisely what cost and benefit information, and evidence is required; so that you do not miss any of the hidden costs or benefits.
The templates calculate the discounted cash flow for determining:
- Return on investment (ROI)
- Operating, investing & financing cash flows
- Net present value
- Internal rate of return
- Payback period
- Profit-to-investment ratio
The financial templates should include a business case financial analysis summary dashboard with the scenario and sensitivity analysis for evaluating the financial implications and increasing the return on investment.
Before diving into your business case, meticulous planning is indispensable. Our business case planning templates streamline the process, allowing for efficient task allocation, tracking, and reporting.
We scope our business case activities, break it down into manageable components; then schedule and assign the tasks needed to complete your business case. You might be surprised at how quickly you can plan, allocate and report on the tasks to complete the business case.
The project planning templates include:
- Project management dashboard
- Project action plan
- Project status report
- Investment project plan
The Investment Project Plan
It's essential to outline the project's key milestones and describe the major activities to achieve the deliverables and milestones. The business case needs to consider other interrelated projects' dependencies and show how such dependencies make impact benefits.
Simply Set the Duration for Each of the Tasks, Add Any Dependencies.
We use the work breakdown structure to focus on the project deliverables and measurable milestones.
This helps to:
- Estimate the cost of the business case recommendation.
- Establish dependencies.
- Determine the project’s timeline and develop a schedule.
- Assign responsibilities and clarify roles.
- Identify risk.
- Develop a phased implementation approach.
We include the overall project timeline and project activities in a Gantt chart.
Every project, no matter how meticulously planned, carries inherent risks. Our risk management templates offer a roadmap to navigate these potential pitfalls, ensuring the business case's desired outcomes and benefits are realized.
Risk planning helps identify the potential problems that could cause trouble for the recommended project. You can use the risk management plan to identify, evaluate, and plan for potential issues. It's a roadmap that shows you the significant risks that need to be managed to achieve the business case outcome and benefits.
The business case templates should include a risk management plan that sets out how risks will be managed in the recommended project.
The risk management plan details your strategy for dealing with risks specific to your business case.
Our risk management template guides you through the steps involved in preparing the risk management plan; it helps you:
- Identify the risks.
- Analyze each risk.
- Evaluate and prioritize the risks.
- Recommend the actions to treat each risk.
- Monetize the risks in business cases.
- Monitor and review the risk during the implementation of the project.
The risk assessment map provides an overview of the risk ratings, plus a management matrix for identifying and assessing risks, describing mitigation strategies, and monitoring control efforts.
