What it is
The approved rationale, scope, benefits and cost. It is one of 51 templates and guides in SSLM, a free project management framework built on the least sufficient process, honestly applied, for the most traceable result.
When to use it
Use it as soon as the work it covers begins, not before. SSLM adds a document when the project earns it, never pre-emptively. If you are running your first project, the nine-step start shows where this one comes in.
Where it fits
This sits at the Pre-project and Green Light point of the SSLM model. Every SSLM document carries the same Project Reference, so this one joins up with the rest of the set rather than standing alone. See the model for how the pieces connect.
What is inside
A Word file, ready to use as it is. Nothing is built from scratch: fill it in, keep the SSLM attribution, and it stays consistent with every other document in the set.
