What summarizes a project request and provides a specific recommendation?

The case for action is designed to summarize a project request by outlining the problem that needs to be addressed and providing a persuasive argument for why the project should be undertaken. It often includes a specific recommendation regarding the proposed action to take, making it essential for decision-makers to understand the necessity and urgency of a project. This document helps in justifying the investment of resources and helps stakeholders see the potential benefits or consequences of taking action or not.

In contrast, a feasibility study usually assesses the practicality and viability of a proposed project but doesn't necessarily summarize a request nor does it provide a clear recommendation in the same way. A business requirement document outlines the needs and expectations for a project but doesn't serve as a summary of the project request nor does it typically include a specific recommendation. The project charter, while offering an overview of the project, is more focused on establishing formal authorization for the project rather than summarizing a project request with a specific recommendation.
