(Burke, 2010) Optimization Methods of Constrained Optimization methods of constrained has another name mathematical model of project selection and these are used for handling large projects that consist of large and complex computations. (Constantinides, 2013) Impact of not having Business case for a Project Business case for a project is considered important because it is an argument which is documented to convince a decision a maker for approving some kind of action. This document is sometimes known as business case. Therefore, we can say that without a documented convincing approach or business case, it will be difficult to convince management about feasibility and success of project.
