For technology leaders who need board-level sign-off on technology investments

The Business Case Template That Gets Approved: And Proves Impact 6 Months After Go-Live

Structured document framework covering baseline metrics, success criteria, benefit tracking, and post-launch review. Your business case becomes a living measurement plan, not a one-off approval document.

Most technology business cases are built to win approval, not to measure success. The moment the project is approved, the business case gets filed and forgotten. This template turns your business case into the accountability framework that protects your credibility long after go-live.

• The baseline metrics section that prevents the most common post-project dispute: we cannot tell if this worked because we never measured the starting point
• The success criteria framework that forces stakeholder agreement before the project starts
• The benefit realisation schedule that tracks impact at 1, 3, and 6 months with specific owners for each metric
• Why CFOs trust business cases built with this structure, and what makes most technology business cases immediately suspect
• The cost-of-inaction calculation that makes the do-nothing option cost more than the investment you are proposing
