Project charter4.1.1.2 Business CaseThe business case or similar document describes the necessary information from a business standpoint to determine whether or not the project is worth the required investment. It is commonly used for decision making by managers or executives above the project level. Typically, the business need and the cost-benefit analysis are contained in the business case to justify and establish boundaries for the project, and such analysis is usually completed by a business analyst using various stakeholder inputs. The sponsor should agree to the scope and limitations of the business case. The business case is created as a result of one or more of the following:Market demand (e.g., a car company authorizing a project to build more fuel-efficient cars in response to gasoline shortages),Organizational need (e.g., due to high overhead costs a company may combine staff functions and streamline processes to reduce costs.),Customer request (e.g., an electric utility authorizing a project to build a new substation to serve a new industrial park),Technological advance (e.g., an airline authorizing a new project to develop electronic tickets instead of paper tickets based on technological advances),Legal requirement (e.g., a paint manufacturer authorizing a project to establish guidelines for handling toxic materials),Ecological impacts (e.g., a company authorizing a project to lessen its environmental impact), orSocial need (e.g., a nongovernmental organization in a developing country authorizing a project to provide potable water systems, latrines, and sanitation education to communities suffering from high rates of cholera).Each of the examples in this list may contain elements of risk that should be addressed. In the case of multiphase projects, the business case may be periodically reviewed to ensure that the project is on track to deliver the business benefits. In the early stages of the project life cycle, periodic review of the business case by the sponsoring organization also helps to confirm that the project is still aligned with the business case. The project manager is responsible for ensuring that the project effectively and efficiently meets the goals of the organization and those requirements of a broad set of stakeholders, as defined in the business case.
Which item is a formal proposal to modify any document, deliverable, or baseline?
4.3.3.3 Change RequestsA change request is a formal proposal to modify any document, deliverable, or baseline. An approved change request will replace the associated document, deliverable, or baseline and may result in an update to other partsof the project management plan. When issues are found while project work is being performed, change requests are submitted, which may modify project policies or procedures, project scope, project cost or budget, project schedule, or project quality. Other change requests cover the needed preventive or corrective actions to forestall negative impact later in the project. Requests for a change can be direct or indirect, externally or internally initiated, and can be optional or legally/contractually mandated, and may include:Corrective action—An intentional activity that realigns the performance of the project work with the project management plan;Preventive action—An intentional activity that ensures the future performance of the project work is aligned with the project management plan;Defect repair—An intentional activity to modify a nonconforming product or product component;Updates—Changes to formally controlled project documents, plans, etc., to reflect modified or additional ideas or content.
