Business case

Every project carries a business case: the figures that turn its maturity into a portfolio-level view of potential and cost. They live on the project’s Business Case tab. All monetary values use the organization’s display currency.

  • Monthly team cost on the project overview: full-time equivalents from the team’s allocations, times the hourly cost, times 160 hours a month.
