Business Analysis Case Study

Every programme and project requires a firm Business Case to justify its funding and investment.

One Social Services department of a beacon local authority was successful in winning an Invest to Save bid for a programme to develop emergency social services that would be financially self-sufficient. The programme followed the guidelines laid down in MSP and
each project was conducted under the control of PRINCE2®.

scoll methods was asked to provide Business Analysis services to develop process models. During the programme additional opportunities for electronic and joined up government were identified. Our Business Analyst was asked to generate Business Cases to justify the exploitation of each of these opportunities. Not all projects could be funded from within the Invest to Save programme budget but those that were, benefited from scoll methods services. These services ranged from Business Case Development through Functional Specification to User Acceptance Testing.
