Always a fan of a snazzy graphic, I put this one together to summarise the things that you should be including in your project business cases.

Do you (or your management team) include all of these in your business case template? What else do you think should be in there that I haven't covered below?

Davit, that's a good idea. I'm new to the Business Model Canvas too but I was looking at it last week for something else!

Business ethics played dynamic role to develop any business case.
Before benefits, must step up to collect the requirements with the involvement of key stake holders.
Most of the key stake holders, don't have healthy knowledge to give their owns inputs. Awareness sessions always helpful to prepare the requirement and the outcomes according to the line of business.
