Have you ever been told by senior management that we need to get this fixed or some of the star employees have identified a broken process that could be easily fixed with some technology.
Due to your GBA you have the urge to start fixing this process. You conduct some informal verbal interview. You hash out some hard requirements. Next comes Google. Your web search comes up with some web apps and some antiquated client server app. Hosted solutions are priced just...
Wait a minute- whose paying for this?
You got everyone hot and bothered and didn't even ask them "HOW MUCH?"
I prefer "Show me the money"
Depending on the structure and culture you may not have a budget- just trust. It could be as simple as walking into the CEO's office and pleading your case and walking out with a check. Or you might have to fight the CFO in a epic battle of numbers and politics. Thus the point of this post is to encourage you to treat your GBA with the following treatment.
The treatment is called a "BC" or "Business Case."
BC is usually adminstered via a document to senior management types.
