What is a 'disbeneficit' in program management?
Answer: A negative consequence or unintended outcome resulting from program delivery
A disbenefit is an unintended negative outcome that results from the program, which should be identified and mitigated as part of benefits management.
A benefits map is a tool used to:
Answer: Visually link program outputs to outcomes and strategic objectives
A benefits map visually shows the chain of causality from program outputs through intermediate outcomes to final strategic benefits.
Who is primarily responsible for sustaining benefits after program closure?
Answer: The operational or business unit that receives the program's outputs
After program closure, the operational or business unit assumes responsibility for sustaining and maximizing the benefits enabled by the program.
In benefits realization, 'incremental benefits' refer to:
Answer: Benefits that are delivered in stages throughout the program rather than all at once at closure
Incremental benefits are delivered progressively as component projects complete, providing value to the organization before the full program concludes.
When should a Benefits Realization Plan be reviewed and updated?
Answer: Regularly throughout the program lifecycle as circumstances and strategic priorities evolve
The Benefits Realization Plan is a living document that should be reviewed and updated regularly to reflect changes in strategy, scope, or expected benefit delivery.
A program that delivers all planned outputs but achieves none of the expected benefits is best described as:
