Project Business Case
(Watch this webinar)
Standard Project Approach
Business Case Development:
Business Relationship Manager and/or assigned Project
Manager works with requestor and
stakeholders to develop or validate
business case (problem statement,
metrics, etc.)
Sponsor Approval: The project sponsor
signs off on the project business case,
indicating it’s an initiative that should
be facilitated by a Project Manager.
Project Research: Project will be
researched based upon project type
Project Charter: A draft project charter
will be developed, which is a preliminary high-level outline of
the project that helps define scope and financial impact.
Project Selection The project will be evaluated against
project portfolio by appropriate approving body. This determines prioritization against
other initiatives.
Build Project Plan: A detailed project plan
will be developed, which includes:
Project Plan Approval:The executive
summary will be presented to the
appropriate operational approving body at which point
funding will be released for projects
that require capital or operating
expenditures.
Execute Project Plan:Once approved, the
project will be worked on by the Project
Manager and/or teams assigned, based on the timeline as outlined in
the project plan.
Transitioning Out: Project Manager will meet with Sponsor to review all necessary
critical hand off items.
Deliverables Accepted:
Upon completion of project
implementation, final deliverables will be
reviewed and approved by Sponsor
and operational approving body.
Initiation Planning Execution Closing
Build Executive Summary:
Project Manager develops an executive
summary of the project plan
Project Closing: Project Manager will
conduct final review of project with sponsor,
key stakeholders, and/or operational
approving body for final acceptance.
Charter Sign off: The project sponsor must sign off on the
project charter to move forward.
