Writing business cases in IT tips?

[Z064life]

Hi,
As part of my job, I sometimes need to write a business case to propose new software. While I (often the implemeneter, know the benefits really well, I need to present this to a person or board, known to not really take any notice. In fact, more experienced colleagues also struggle to get their business cases read and approved.

That being said, I've looked at business case tips for IT Projects, but what advice do you have to write successful business cases in difficult working environments?


Thanks!

In this case the business case is for 2).

I've got a fair bit written up now, anyone keen for reviewing? The tips are great but I don't know where what I have written stands against a successful business case for budget.


Thanks for the help guys!

If you were on the Board, would you buy in to it from what is written?

Well I would, but then I am biased lol.
