| How
to Build an IT Business Case An IT “business case” is a structured argument that proves the need to invest money in information technology. Quality cases follow established format and content conventions that can be learned and applied quickly. Learn which facts to present (and what to avoid) and how to build a logical, credible case for your project or initiative. |

| How
to Perform a Cost-Benefit Analysis (Basic) The “best” technology solution is rarely self-evident to decision-makers. Technology professionals and business analysts are expected to provide a fact-based assessment of costs, benefits, risks and returns of plausible options. Learn the simple, yet credible, procedure anyone can follow. This is a very basic, plain-English introduction. |

| How
to Perform a Cost-Benefit Analysis II
(Intermediate) This workshop builds upon the foundation skills and CBA methodology learned in CBA I (Basics).

Illustrative examples and class exercises are more complicated and challenging. |

| What’s
the ROI? How to Quantify IT’s Real Value Return on Investment (ROI) is about quantifying the business value of information technology. Value may be financial or non-financial. Pinpointing IT’s real value isn’t about math; it is about learning how to visualize value from the stakeholder point of view. Learn a practical step-by-step process that can be used immediately. |

Business Performance Indicators & Metrics Indicators and metrics are numeric and graphical representations of physical events. Much like a car’s speedometer or roadside milepost, they enable management to quickly "visualize" where the IT organization’s projects and operations are in relation to where it is committed to be. Participants learn the basics and practice by developing a set of their own key IT business performance indicators in-session. |

Budgeting Basics Knowing what budgets are, how they work, and the basic terminology is a prerequisite for anyone that plans or manages IT. Yet, budgets and budgeting continue to be a source of confusion and frustration to most non-financial professionals. This fast-paced course demystifies the process, explains the documents, and translates the language of budgeting into plain English. |

| Budget
Planning & Management for IT Projects One of the attributes of an effective project manager is the ability to "manage to a budget". This is clear challenge for technical professionals who may have little or no budget management training or experience. Building upon the high-level understanding of budgeting developed in the IT Budgeting Basics course, participants learn the essential skills for planning and managing IT project budgets. |
|||
| How
to Justify IT Expenses Projects don't justify themselves; that's why written budget justifications are needed. An effective justification is a concise "decision package" that tells decision-makers what they need to know to make informed budget decisions. Learn how to explain project and recurring activity budget needs in terms decision-makers understand. |
