APM PPQ - Benefits Management (Sample Lecture)

Benefits management is one of the more challenging topics in the APM PPQ. It is not a process that most project managers get involved in and to be frank it is one of the less mature project management processes. So you may have to study this topic carefully,
The assessment criteria are:
1) Critically evaluate the importance of confirming the intended benefits are measurable, meaningful to stakeholders and relate to an organisation’s strategic objectives;
2) Critically evaluate ways in which to develop a benefits management strategy which records priorities, timescales and responsibilities;
3) Critically evaluate the importance of prioritising the achievement of benefits based on their level of contribution to an organisation’s strategic objective;
4) Critically evaluate ways in which to create a benefits realisation plan considering funding, tracking, monitoring and appropriate indicators and scheduling;
5) Critically evaluate ways in which to maximise achievement of the planned benefits.
