CRSTS ADDITIONAL APPENDIX Guidance Notes

Foreword

The purpose of the CRSTS Additional Appendices is to require Business Case authors to provide additional context and evidence, updated plans, strategies and documents and to provide answers to key questions across the five-case model. It is a requirement that this template be completed and submitted.

This appendix is provided as a ‘checklist’ of information which should be provided either in your TAG business case or as separate documents. It is expected that a project will usually have both a TAG business case and a WMCA Board-friendly summary document, plus supplementary appendices. This checklist is a supplement to the Board friendly document.

The table below shows which questions are expected to be completed at each stage of the business case cycle. This does not preclude early completion if the information is available. Information entered in previous stages should be retained and updated where necessary, even if an update is not required.
