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

Progress should be monitored against the Business Case, the Programme Plan, the Benefits Realisation Plan and the Blueprint.  Adjustments may be identified from a range of events or circumstances:

  • Business operations may be unstable
  • Forward plans are no longer realistic
  • External circumstances changing

Programme's objectives being re-focused.

Points to consider

Some projects may not contribute to benefits in their own right, but they may be providing prerequisites for other projects that will contribute to realisation of benefits.

Linkages between enablers, improved capability and business outcomes should be clearly mapped and tracked over time.
