For each line identify the appropriate option, from options A to E, that applies. Each option can be used once, more than once or not at all.

The option to ‘Develop a new campus on the site of the Old Fire Station Headquarters’ should be captured on the long list within the Strategic Case.
‘Underachieving on success rates for qualifications’
should be captured under the business need heading in the Strategic Case.
‘Development of learning provision for 14-19-year-olds in Pittville’ should be recorded as a key service requirement.
The number of students accommodated by each of the current learning providers should be detailed in the Strategic Case.

Case
Using the Scenario, answer the following questions about scoping the proposal and preparing the Strategic Outline Case for the Pittville project.
Decide whether the approach is appropriate for stage 1, and select the response that supports your decision.
When preparing the Strategic Outline Case, the need to address the number of education courses available to 16-18-year-olds was considered to be sufficiently large and stand alone to form a project.
Was this an appropriate application of the Five Case Model for this project?
- A . No, because the Pittville project is part of a larger programme of change.
- B . No, because whether the change is sufficiently large to warrant a project should have been determined before this stage.
- C . Yes, because this stage should confirm the strategic context of the proposal.
- D . Yes, because this stage should provide stakeholders with an early indication of the preferred option.
The Consortium has stated that within the next three years, it expects to see at least a 15% increase in the attainment of qualifications. However, it has not proposed ways in which the success rates for qualifications can be increased.
Is this approach appropriate for defining the spending objectives in the Strategic Outline Case?
- A . No, because without a solution to the problem, there is no way of calculating what the potential improvements might be.
- B . No, because the Consortium should NOT be specifying the targeted outcomes.
- C . Yes, because the Consortium has been formed to plan the transformation of education and learning.
- D . Yes, because the Strategic Case should focus on what needs to be achieved in terms of the targeted outcomes and outputs rather than input in relation to the potential solution.
Using the Scenario, answer the following questions about scoping the proposal and preparing the Strategic Outline Case for the Pittville project.
Decide whether the approach is appropriate for stage 1, and select the response that supports your decision.
There is a risk that the local planning authority may reject proposals for development of the Old Fire Station Headquarters site. This will cause delays to the project.
Should this risk be recorded as an external non-systemic risk within the Strategic Outline Case?
- A . No, because risks should be identified in the Outline Business Case.
- B . No, because this is a service risk associated with the design and build phases of the project.
- C . Yes, because the local planning authority is an external organization.
- D . Yes, because changes to the Old Fire Station Headquarters site will affect the environment.
There is a need to meet regulations that address the needs of those with Learning Difficulties and Disabilities Should this item be recorded as a dependency within the Strategic Outline Case?
- A . No, because the regulations are an externally imposed parameter or constraint.
- B . No, because dependencies should NOT be recorded within the Strategic Outline Case.
- C . Yes, because any actions or developments required by others should be considered if the success of the project is dependent upon them.
- D . Yes, because success of the project is dependent upon compliance with these regulations.
