Benefits management is vital in ensuring that an initiative achieves what it set out to do. It involves articulating what benefits are expected from the initiative, how it will be known that the benefits are achieved, and the assessment of what has eventuated against what was planned. Managing benefits extends beyond the lifecycle of a project or program. It requires a structure that survives long after the project/program team has disbanded.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CioindexITS/~4/6z999rsOf1M" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/CioindexITS/~3/6z999rsOf1M/benefit-assessment-of-investment-proposal.aspx sourabhhajela Mon, 17 Jun 2013 19:00:00 GMT http://www.cioindex.com/article/articleid/135034/benefit-assessment-of-investment-proposal.aspx http://www.cioindex.com/article/articleid/135033/strategic-assessment-of-investment-proposal.aspx The Strategic Assessment is intended to provide stakeholders with a high degree of confidence that the investment they are considering aligns with the organizations strategic priorities and responds to a true business need.
