It guides drafting an executive summary, project purpose, background, and context, then defines the problem or opportunity with evidence and forecasts, and explains the rationale for government intervention. It also structures objectives, benefits to government, stakeholder mapping, strategic options analysis, impact and economic assessment, risk evaluation, and implementation planning, including procurement, governance, timelines, and next steps.","\u0003[INSERT AGENCY LOGO]\n[INSERT AGENCY TITLE]\n[Investment Proposal Title]\nBusiness Case\nDate\n\u000f\nVersion Control\u0004\nDocument Approval\nContact Officer\n\u000f\nAbbreviations\nList of Appendices\nThe appendices are included in a separate volume from the Business Case.\n!\nThis template should be used in conjunction with the Strategic Asset Management Framework (SAMF) Business Case Guidelines.
