2. It will not take you countless hours to prepare

The Six Fatal Flaws of Most "How-To-Do-Business Case Development" or "ROI Analysis" Programs

Fatal Flaw One: Lack of flexibility
Other products do not easily allow for customization and are difficult to adapt to your situation. You need tools that allow you to customize your case to your specific business attributes.

Fatal Flaw Two: Theoretical, rather than practical
Other products are created by people who worked in academia, consulting firms, or otherwise where their theories were not applied to real-work situations. The methods sound great -- but the reality of delivering and executing an internal recommendation can make or break IT project or career. CaseBuilder arms you with a practical, simple, and easy-to-implement methodology.

Fatal Flaw Three: Information overload
Competing products result in dozens or hundreds of pages with complicated, impractical methods and verbiage. You then must sift through all the information, and try to distill it into a usable format. Choose tools that are down-to-earth and practical, and keep the process moving. CaseBuilder boils it down without "dumbing it down".

Fatal Flaw Four: No step-by-step specific tools
Other products provide general advice and expect you to pay for personal consultations for specific recommendations. Stick to step-by-step tools that identify specific communication points and recommendations.

Fatal Flaw Five: Overlooked critical factors
Some competing products do not cover points like the importance and process of an impact analysis, dealing with benefits which are difficult to quantify, and communicating your message effectively. CaseBuilder does all that and more.

Fatal Flaw Six: Too complex
Often you have a small window of opportunity to make your case - time is of the essence. Learning complicated software or PhD-level financial spreadsheets only slows the process. Choose streamlined tools that will give you new insights into your project and help you produce an effective business case.
