A guide to creating a great case study
There is no set way in which you should approach case studies, however using the rule of the ‘five Ws’ is always a good place to start. The attached template may help.
The ‘six Ws’ are:
What happened?
When did it happen?
Where did it happen?
Why did it happen?
Who was affected by it happening?
What was done about it?
Case studies MUST have place specific information.
