sAn individual project portfolio document will be developed and this will be the document which is assessed. This portfolio document (2,000 words) will contain a diary element which will describe your contribution to the project as it evolves and a post project reflection. Submission is via Turn-it-in.

Product and Quality Review

•    For the main products and sub-products of your project, which were effective and which weren’t? What do you think were the contributing factors?

•    Did any of your products take longer or less than originally estimated to create? What assumptions and factors may have affected the time taken to produce your products?

HOW TO USE THIS TEMPLATE:
Introduction

Prior to printing, you should delete all [….] prompt text.
Saving the Business Case document under its own name
Save the Business Case document by selecting the “SAVE-AS” command; this will
avoid overwriting the standard template. You must specify your own Project
Directory.
Once your Business Case is complete check the document against the
following Quality Criteria:
