Hi Markus,

I would specifically call out Business Value or Business Justification. I see there is Business need, but I would be more explicit.

Edit: Understand that would not be consistent with PMBOK, but it is what I'm used to, and what we use internally.

Hi Andrew,

thanks for contributing.
I see your point. Well, in general the guideline is to stay at close to the PMBoK Guide as we can, but on the other hand, if there is a consens here with the experts of course we could expand the map content/structure for our needs if we feel that this is necessary and senseful.

Therefore i would like to hear what others have to say about this topic.

And in addition it would be great if you could explain a bit more on your topics and what the user of the map/template should insert there, so we could put this into the help section. That would be fantastic, Andrew.

Regards,

Markus

- Business Justification:
--- Repeatable Process
--- Scalability, Availability
--- Reportability, Auditability
--- Centralized
--- Alignment with Organizational Strategy

- Business Value
--- Revenue Generation
--- Cost Reduction
--- Increased Efficiency
--- Risk Reduction

Hello Andrew,

a happy new year and thanks again for your contribution on this.

Before adding your suggestions to the map i kindly wanna ask which kind of data/result is expected here.
Should the values mentioned by you being listed for selection or did we expect a response to each of them and yes what nature should this respond be?
Hope you got my point.;)

Regards,

Markus

PS. What does others think about this addition to the SOW map? Additional suggestions?
