  Business case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A business Case is a part of the project mandate, or separate document referenced by the project mandate (depending on the scale of the project), produced before a project is initiated.
It includes the reasons for the project, the expected business benefits, the options considered (with reasons for rejecting or carrying forward each option), the expected costs of the project, a gap analysis and the expected risks.
The business may also be subject to amendment if the review concludes that the business need has abated or changed, this will have a knock on effect on the project.

 The Business Case   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Once the business cases were all on the table and ranked in relation to their strategic impact it became clear that the current priority (a portfolio management application that was been vigorously championed by a key decision maker) actually ranked some way behind other projects.
The challenge for the business case is therefore firstly to identify all significant risks and secondly provide information on them but ultimately it will almost certainly be a judgment call for decision takers on where the project lies on the risk reward curve.
Whilst the project manager may do much of the groundwork in putting together the business case she will need to engage with others to obtain or verify the underlying business perspective and the significant judgments that are being made.

This article will address the role a business case has in the reengineering effort, and help your team put the business case into it's proper perspective so that the business case can be viewed as another important, but not evil, step in the BPR effort.
