Project Benefits Realisation: Begin with the End in Mind
By Mr. Lee Boon Kee, Member, Project Management
What do project managers do to be successful in the projects they manage? They always begin with the end in mind. This means they have to work with the key stakeholders to uncover the project’s goals and justification, and visualise the end state when all changes have taken place and the benefits have been realised. Project is truly successful only if it delivers the benefits the organization envisioned at the beginning and only if the stakeholders are happy with the outcome. As such, project benefits realisation has become a vital driver for projects and it is now more common to assess the success of a project by achieving its benefits rather than evaluating the success through its deliverables and the traditional measures of time, cost, and scope. There is a need for project managers to build a strong foundation to ensure alignment of strategic goals of the business, together with a well-planned change management strategy that will enable greater success in the realisation of the project benefits.
