What criteria can be applied in the production of a business case?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

A business case is developed during the early stages of a project and outlines the why, what, how, and who necessary to decide if it is worthwhile continuing a project. One of the first things you need to know when starting a new project are the benefits of the proposed business change and how to communicate those benefits to the business.

Preparing the business case involves an assessment of:

- Business problem or opportunity

- Benefits

- Risk

- Costs including investment appraisal

- Technical solutions

- Timescale

- Impact on operations

- Organizational capability to deliver the project outcomes

These project issues are an important part of the business case. They express the problems with the current situation and demonstrate the benefits of the new business vision. Making business case with multiple options and choices also prompts the procurement and senior management to consider alternatives. As a result, the organisation may opt out the best option.

The business case brings together the benefits, disadvantages, costs, and risks of the current situa-tion and future vision so that executive management can decide if the project should go ahead.

Okay, I've got this. The key is looking for the term that specifically indicates "special handling" for the luggage. I'm confident I can nail this one.

Okay, let's see. The question is asking for the personalization string to use in the href attribute, so it's probably one of those %%variables%%. I'm leaning towards B, %%view_email_url%%, since that seems the most relevant.

D) is the clear winner here. Costs, benefits, and options - that's the trifecta of a winning business case. Anything less would be like trying to bake a cake without eggs, flour, and sugar. You just can't do it!
