Business Cases Aren't A Waste of Time

摘要

Are Business Cases just bureaucratic wastes of time and effort? My take has always been that business cases are valuable ways to describe and contrast potential project investments in order to make effective financial and business trade-offs. But the opposing view was voiced by several people at a recent conference. Do they have a point?rnI don't think so. What they have instead, I suspect, is experience in IT organizations that use business cases as a way to avoid work.
