Managing Benefits

This section deals with planning and managing the overall delivery of benefits from the programme.  The activities cover tracking the benefits from their initial identification to their successful realisation.  This process also covers managing the transition from old to new ways of working while ensuring that business as usual is maintained.  The process is repeated through each tranche of the programme.

What you need to do

To measure improvements resulting from benefits realisation. The 'before' or 'as is' state needs to be measured and baselined in the Benefits Profile.

Benefits realisation, which happens towards the end of the benefits management process, is reinforced by the implementation of relevant measurement processes.

Points to consider

Providing realistic and usable measures for benefit realisation is not straightforward.  Benefits may be owned by different parts of the organisation. Some benefits can be tracked using financial measures, others will need more complex measures, or indicators, to demonstrate their realisation.
