The programme will define the standards that the project will need to use when developing the Business Case.
The project Business Case will be aggregated into the overall programme Business Case and is likely to be reduced in content. It may comprise just the details of the budget, a list of benefits (and the benefits tolerance), and a statement as to how the project is contributing to the programme blueprint, with the justification aspects of the project Business Case sitting in the programme Business Case.
In some cases, the Business Case might be produced and maintained by the programme and even exist in detail prior to initiating the project.
Benefits will be defined, tracked and managed by the programme management team, and the project’s Benefits Review Plan will be part of the programme’s benefits realization plan.
