APMG BBC Foundation case studies
APMG BBC Foundation · Put your knowledge to work in context.
Better Business Cases (BBC) is an APMG certification scheme in the project and programme management family, aimed at people who sponsor, write, appraise or approve business cases - typically in public sector bodies and in organisations that supply or partner with them. APMG lists 'Better Business Cases Certification' among its featured certifications, and a published learner testimonial describes 'Better Business Case Practitioner training' as strengthening the writer's understanding of 'the Treasury's Green Book guidance' and helping ensure business cases are 'robust, evidence-based and aligned to best practice'. The APMG BBC Foundation case studies are 5 cases and about 3,038 words.
