This is the latest version of the Better Business Cases guidance.  

There is a number of documents here including:-

• Two International versions.  One for Projects and one for Programmes.  This is the versions we will be using for our courses.
• Two UK versions.  Again one for Projects and one for Programmes but we will not be using this.
• A summary of the Five Case Model.
• Five Case Model templates.  This is a good reference for setting up your own templates.  Remember to right-size and think about the audience and purpose.

The respective Project and Programme Business Case guidance is a beta release.  This means the will be revisions and it does contain some errors such as spelling mistakes.  Our understanding is that they will be published, fully corrected and with proper indexing.  But at that stage you will probably have to pay for the publication.

We do provide a spelling corrected version of the BBC - International Guide to developing the Project Business Case.  Click on this link to download this.
