Write 600 to 800 words describing the business case for your proposed project. Document the business need and the potential Return on Investment (ROI). Describe the results of your feasibility study to demonstrate that the project can be completed as proposed. Substantiate your assessment with external sources and references.

Answer these key questions that are critical to any successful business case:
Why – describe the value proposition – explain how the organization benefits from your project
What – describe the work (scope)
How – explain how you will do the work with enough specificity to be compelling and convince the client you know how to do it and are the best provider to select
