Episode 46: Discovery Phase: Business Case and ROI Analysis

This episode begins Domain 2 by focusing on the discovery or concept preparation phase of a project. We explain how the business case establishes the rationale for undertaking the project, defining the problem, opportunity, or goal it aims to address. You’ll learn how Return on Investment (ROI) analysis is used to measure potential benefits against projected costs, providing a quantifiable basis for approval. Both elements are foundational to ensuring the project aligns with organizational strategy and stakeholder expectations.

We then explore how to assess the current state, identify the desired future state, and connect them through measurable objectives. Examples show how a strong business case and ROI analysis influence funding decisions, resource allocation, and prioritization. These skills will help you navigate PK0-005 exam scenarios that require evaluating the viability and justification of proposed projects.
