Benefits Realisation

More about the book

For many managers in PMO steering committees, projects often incur high costs in time and money, yielding only a fraction of expected benefits. In this insightful work, benefits realisation expert Rasmus Rytter presents a transformative approach where benefits realisation shapes project design and leadership. By defining the project's benefits, the central question becomes: "How can we encourage our colleagues to change their behaviour?" This highlights behavioural change as essential for achieving benefits. The book provides a step-by-step guide to addressing both benefit realisation and behavioural change, integrating seamlessly with existing project and portfolio practices, including SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework). It features real-life case studies demonstrating the new approach's application across various projects, along with user-friendly posters, playbooks, and facilitation guides for key activities and workshops. Additionally, it outlines effective strategies to reduce project costs through benefits realisation and offers executives valuable insights for making informed strategic prioritisation decisions based on credible data regarding project benefits and change costs. Ideal for project managers, change managers, PMO professionals, and agile framework users, this work is also a valuable resource for executives and business leaders at all organisational levels.
