| Objective | An objective is a statement of a result that is to be achieved, usually within a specific timeframe and with available resources. |
| Opportunity | In the context of a business case, an opportunity typically refers to a set of circumstances which make it possible to further the goals and objectives of an organisation. |
| Strategic context | The strategic context is the alignment of the potential benefits from a proposed investment with the business problem owner''s priorities, regional and national priorities, other programmes and strategies, and other organisations'' priorities (where relevant). The strategic context is part of the strategic case, but is reviewed to ensure it is still fit for purpose at every stage in the development of the business case. |

| Scope | The area and extent of activity for an initiative. For a programme, the scope is typically described with a focus on the area of activity for the programme. For a project, the scope is the ouputs that it will produce together with the work required to produce them. |
| Inter-dependency | A dependency that is external to the programme or project but is still within the perimeters of the organisation’s programme and project management environment, and most likely linked to the scope of another programme or project within the strategic portfolio. |
