Business case sections – g.1 and g.2 – week 1 assignment

When change needs to happen in an organization, a business case is used to justify the change.  On page 464 in your textbook is a generic business case template.  The template is intended as a generic starting point that needs further customization to better match organization requirement and preferences.  The template also acts as a checklist of considerations that pertain to adoption.  The business case can be used to have healthy conversations around the legitimacy of the cloud or any technology adoption in the preliminary planning stages.
