A business case captures the reasoning for initiating a project or task . Many projects, but not all, are initiated by using a business case. It is often presented in a well-structured written document , but may also come in the form of a short verbal agreement or presentation . The logic of the business case is that, whenever resources such as money or effort are consumed, they should be in support of a specific business need . An example could be that a software upgrade might improve system performance , but the "business case" is that better performance would improve customer satisfaction , require less task processing time, or reduce system maintenance costs . A compelling business case adequately captures both the quantifiable and non-quantifiable characteristics of a proposed project. According to the Project Management Institute , a business case is a " value proposition for a proposed project that may include financial and nonfinancial benefit."
