For this assignment, you will choose a problem or opportunity that you may have
seen at work or in your personal life that could serve as motivation for a class
project. You will then use the 5 step process in this assignment to create a Business
Case for your project. The project that you choose will serve as your class project for
the rest of the class. This will also be the subject of your Final Project Management
Plan. Assignment 2– The Business Case
Consider a problem or opportunity that you’ve seen at work or in your personal life
that
could serve as motivation for a class project. The project that you choose will serve
for the
rest of the class as your Final Project Plan.
1. The scope of your project should be small, but should require a project manager,
project team, resources, a budget of between $10,000 - $200,000, and should be
able to be completed within a six-month timeframe.
2. Prepare either (not both) a problem or opportunity statement that includes the
components of identity, timing, location, and magnitude.
3. Prepare a fishbone diagram showing the potential causes of your problem or
opportunity. You may choose one of the Fishbone Diagram Templates from the
Microsoft Website: http://office.microsoft.com/enus/
templates/results.aspx?qu=cause+and+effect+diagram+2003&ex=1&av=all
or create your own.
4. List three options for solving the problem or fulfilling the opportunity through a
project (one option should be to “do nothing”).
5. Evaluate your options using one of the methods (financial analysis, list of
advantages
and disadvantages, or S.W.O.T analysis) as discussed in Chapter 3.
6. Using the results from steps 1-5 as inputs, create a Business Case for your project
which includes the following components:
a. Executive Summary
b. Project Drivers (Problem/Opportunity Statement)
c. Underlying Causes
d. Goal
e. Options for Achieving
f. Assessment of Options for Achieving the Goal
g. Conclusion (Findings/Recommendations on moving forward)
Appendix 3A in the textbook provides a sample business case. See the Table of
Contents for
the correct page number.
Turn in only the Business Case for this assignment.
