About this project business case template

This Project Business Case template provides a structured framework for building credible investment proposals. It guides you through comparing options, quantifying value and cost, testing risk and feasibility, and supporting an accountable investment decision. The template uses a warehouse automation upgrade as illustrative content to demonstrate the expected level of evidence at each stage.

The template follows a logical three-step decision flow: establish the case for change with evidence, evaluate credible options against weighted criteria, and present a clear recommendation with conditions and approval records. Each section includes placeholder tables, decision-factor matrices, and signature blocks that are fully editable.

Designed for executives, programme managers, and finance professionals, this template works in WPS Office, Microsoft Word, and Google Docs. Replace the sample data with your own project-specific information and preserve dated decisions, owners, and approval records for audit readiness.
