During the initial funding gate, the program manager must present an estimate of costs together with the benefits-both monetary and non-monetary-that the program will deliver. Which deliverable is specifically intended to integrate these two dimensions so the executive committee has enough information to authorize the program?
Draft a communications management plan outlining messages and channels for stakeholder engagement.
Create a preliminary work breakdown structure showing estimated labor hours for each project component.
Compile a risk register that lists identified threats and opportunities with preliminary responses.
Develop a well-structured business case that integrates cost-benefit analysis with qualitative benefit statements.
The business case is the document that consolidates cost-benefit analysis with descriptions of qualitative or strategic benefits. PMI states that a compelling business case captures both quantifiable and non-quantifiable characteristics of an initiative, letting decision-makers judge overall value. A WBS, communications plan, or risk register each serve important purposes but do not merge financial and non-financial benefits for funding approval.
