Brief Case

Here are some more information for Brief Case:

A common item that many businesspeople carry around is a briefcase. They were originally used to hold little more than documents and supplies needed for a professional while on the go. However, nowadays, with laptops, PDA's and other things needing a place to stay while traveling, more and more people are switching to rolling briefcases. Those that carry a great deal of gadgets and paperwork with them are finding it difficult to fit everything inside a small case. Therefore, a rolling laptop briefcase is the perfect solution if you need your computer with you at all times.

The best benefit about having a rolling briefcase is that you no longer have to weigh down one shoulder or arm. Most briefcases either come with a small handle or a single strap. This would put too much of a strain on one side of the body. This is especially true with the amount of things that people lug around with them. Therefore, having a bag that rolls is a great idea. No longer are you suffering from sore muscles because you have to carry so much with you.

Ease of use is another thing that makes rolling briefcases so nice. If you have ever been in a crowded airport, you know how difficult it can be to try to carry something in your hand or on your shoulder. People bump against you, sending the strap of your bag sliding off your shoulder. They could also knock it out of your hand. With a rolling laptop briefcase, you can easily get to your flight terminal and then out of the airport. Since you have wheels, anyone that gets too close will simply get rolled over or bumped instead of you being the one to get attacked.

A briefcase with wheels is typically larger than ones you have to carry. They allow you more room to put your items. If you are going on an overnight trip for business, some of these briefcases are roomy enough that you can store clothing and necessities for the stay in the bag. This reduces the amount of luggage you have to take with you when traveling. Many have separate compartments so that you can organize your items, no matter how many you have. There are typically sections for a cell phone, money, credit cards, documents, and a computer.

As you can see, using a rolling laptop briefcase can be more beneficial to you than traditional style briefcases that you carry in your hand. They take the weight off of your body so that you are not dealing with pain and soreness later on. They also allow you to easily navigate through crowds without having your hand or arm knocked off when someone bumps into the case. Rolling briefcases tend to offer more room so that everything can fit neatly inside.

Writing an Unbeatable Business Case

A Project Brief describes what needs to be done. The Project Plan explains how you are going to do it. The Business Case gives the reasons why.
In PRINCE2TM terminology, the Business Case is the ‘driver’ of the project. Senior Project Management review the Business Case before authorising the initiation, and each subsequent stage, of the project. The Business Case is used as a yardstick to measure project progress. Before allowing any change to the Project Plan, the Executive must consider the impact that this change will have on the Business Case.
In other words, without a Business Case, no project would ever get off the ground.
The Business Case justifies the investment of time, money and resources into a project by outlining the benefits that the project will bring. It is made up of eight key sections:
• Reasons
Why is the project necessary?
The reasons you give must conform to corporate/programme strategy. You’d have a hard job convincing a clothing manufacturer that an advertising campaign persuading people to recycle last year’s clothes instead of buying new ones would be an appropriate project to undertake.
Another way of thinking about the reasons for a project is to consider what need the project will address. Is customer satisfaction low? Do your profit margins need a boost? Are you still using the same, snail-paced computers you acquired in 1983?
• Options
What different options are available for addressing the identified need? Why is the option you have chosen (the project) the best of the bunch?
Showing that you have seriously considered all the possibilities will strengthen your Business Case. Providing Senior Management with all the available information will also maximise the chances for somebody to suggest an improvement. It is much better to change your Project Plan now than to watch it all collapse halfway through.
• Benefits
This is where you persuade your audience that your project is worthwhile. Every possible benefit can be considered, tangible and intangible. Just make sure that you justify the benefits that you project.
If your project will increase profit, then present detailed figures as evidence. If the primary benefit is improved customer care or staff efficiency, then explain how this will happen and what the effects will be.
• Risks
What are the main risks to project success? Be frank. Transparency will gain the confidence of Senior Managers and will demonstrate your foresight, realism and capability.
• Cost
The Senior Project Managers need to know the total projected cost before they can authorise the project. Justify each area of expenditure, so that nobody is in any doubt that the budget you have forecast is as accurate as possible.
• Timescale
How long will the project take? Detail the activities and goals of each stage, and explain why the specified length of time is needed.
• Investment Appraisal
This is where you pit the cost and beneits against one another in order to demonstrate once and for all that your project is a worthwhile investment. Before Senior Management can authorise your project, they need to know what they are getting for their money.
The Investment Appraisal, by detailing the costs and benefits over a fixed period of time, is the most direct way of quantifying ‘value for money’.
• Evaluation
Consider your own Business Case in an objective light. What are the strongest and surest benefits that you have promised? Why are they necessary? Why is your project the best way of achieving them?
