Score Carding Business Benefits
Increasing recognition of the business analysis role in project management can be seen in the recent update to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® 4th Edition). It recognises the need to get the business case right with the introduction of new processes and the expectation that all projects use the business case as a major input. In many cases the critical business drivers of our project are either relatively intangible or else extremely difficult to measure.

Ask Mentor Mike?
Hi Mike,
I am concerned that my current project may get axed as a result of cutbacks in our organisation. Is there anything I should do or just wait for the inevitable?

Dave
Yes we live in interesting times as the Chinese proverb goes. At this time all organisations will be taking a close look at the projects that they are running and assessing which ones they will keep, which ones they will put on hold and which ones they will abandon. As a basic rule, if your project doesn’t stack up in terms of providing value to your organisation that exceeds what it costs then it is unlikely to proceed. .continued...
Dear Dave,
