Better Business Cases™ Foundation
Create more value with well-written business cases.
Description
When projects commence with an optimistic business case that is flawed and poorly written, organisations spend money that may not give them the return on investment they desired. Understanding the proven tools and techniques to make a more robust business case is a critical part of a project's success.
