Business Cases
In my experience of Product Manager I have done Business Cases. I’ll not discuss how should be done, I just have some remarks in regards to this subject and a post on a blog that I have just read.
So, Business Cases are very important in the life on any project because it helps the PM:
- focus on the opportunities;
- better analyse the risk;
- evaluate the revenues;
- better define the milestones
- Better evaluation of the project after launch.
In the blog mentioned above it is stressed that for a Business Case there is a need of 90 days. Wow, I must say.
The deadline that I received was one day. I worked very hard, but of course there have been other 2 version of the documents due the lack of time how land on a lack of information.
I strongly believe that for a professional business case any person should have at least 1 month depending on the product/project complexity.
Why? Because in this time:
- the document can be reviewed and better done
- the dates can be correctly collect
- the analyse can be done better
