Creating a Program Business Case for an IT Investment


This guide helps build a business case for a specific program - a temporary, time bound, flexible arrangement established to coordinate, direct and oversee the implementation of a set of related projects and activities in order to deliver outcomes and benefits.


The primary purpose of the Program Business Case is to support the decision to invest in a program of change that optimizes potential value for money.

The Program Business Case should:

  • Confirm the strategic context of the organization and how the proposed investment fits within that strategic context
  • Confirm the case for change and the need for investment
  • Recommend a preferred program and a preferred way forward for further development of the investment proposal
  • Identify the key asset and non-asset based projects that will support the program outcomes, including proposed tranches, and
  • Seek early approval of decision-makers to develop subsequent project-based business cases.
