Business case Requirements and ROI 1 and 2

Business Case 2 Group Project

This is your second business case of this course.  Use the feedback received from your prototype and first business case assignments.  Again, part of this course is critical thinking, which means you will have to look at the whole picture regarding this project.   This assignment will be graded harder than the last business case!  This is a FIFTY point assignment if you provide just the basic information (i.e. one or two sentences for each section that are vague) you will are looking at earning about half the points for this assignment.  (Note: this assignment is due at the end of Module 4, you should be working on it well in advance of the due date - as always I am available for questions)
