term
generalization
definition

taxonomic relationship between a more general element and a more specific element

NOTE 1 The more specific element is fully consistent with the more general element (it has all of its properties, members, and relationships) and may contain additional information.

NOTE 2 In the metamodel, a Generalization is a directed inheritance relationship, uniting a GeneralizableElement with a more general GeneralizableElement in a hierarchy. Generalization is a subtyping relationship; that is, an Instance of the more general GeneralizableElement may be substituted by an Instance of the more specific GeneralizableElement.

The business case addresses, at a high level, the business needs that the project seeks to meet. It includes the reasons for the project, the expected business benefits, the options considered (with reasons for rejecting or carrying forward each option), the expected costs of the project, a GAP analysis and the expected risks.
