Attributes of an Effective Product Support Business Case Analysis

Abstract

Never in the field of acquisition was so much requested by so many with so few dollars. This play on Winston Churchills famous Battle of Britain quote reflects the recent history of Americas expectations for national security coupled with an austere budgetary environment. This raises the question, How do we achieve what we need to within a context of diminishing resources? The answer lies in finding efficiencies, relying on value-based decision making, understanding trade-offs second-order effects, and managing acceptable risks. Business case analyses (BCAs) powerfully deliver all these benefits.
