In this assignment, you will begin to undertake a more detailed assessment of the costs, benefits, and risks associated with the project. Specifically, you will begin completing an ROI and a business case analysis related to the project proposal.

One of the most important and challenging tasks in assessing IT projects is to determine the project’s return on investment (ROI). Essentially, ROI refers to the concept of trying to determine how much benefit or return the organization will obtain from successfully implementing a project in relation to the costs that will have to be incurred.

In this assignment, you will apply different approaches for assessing the ROI for your case project option. Completing the ROI will provide you with needed information as you complete the business case.
