WHITE PAPER
Benefits Realization and Value Management

Organizations in both the public and private sectors have struggled with creating a portfolio of projects that provide sustainable business value.

Common Problems (do any of these sound familiar?) 

• Project requests are added to the queue for delivery without proper evaluation and with little regard if the projects are aligned with business objectives or provide benefits and value upon successful completion.

• Projects are submitted without any accompanying business case or alignment to business strategy. 
• Projects have accompanying business cases that are based upon highly exaggerated expectations and unrealistic benefits.
• Projects are created because of the whims of management and the order in which the projects are completed is based upon the rank or title of the requestor.
