BOSCARD (Terms of Reference)

"When looking to gain support and approval for your next project, it might be worth thinking BOSCARD.

The BOSCARD is a strategic planning tool used to provide the terms-of-reference for new projects. It is thought to have originated with consulting company Cap Gemini in the 1980's.

The acronym stands for background, objectives, scope, constraints, assumptions, risks and deliverables. These headings are commonly found in terms-of-reference and project initiation documents."
