What you need to do

Identify high-level business need in terms of either outcomes (the change as a result of making the investment) or outputs (what will be produced as a result of making the investment).

Identify high-level benefits that directly link to business objectives; think about how these benefits will be measured. (See the techniques about benefits in the SD Pocketbook)
