Benefits Review Plan Template

Benefits Management Approach · A$16

Who owns each benefit, how it will be measured, and what happens when the project team leaves.

Benefits are promised by projects and delivered by operations, which is why so many go missing in the gap. This document closes it: every benefit gets an owner outside the project, a measure, a baseline, and a handover point.

What's inside

• Purpose and benefits principles — what counts as a benefit and what does not
• Benefits governance and roles — who owns each benefit after the project closes
• Benefit profiles — one per benefit: description, measure, baseline, target, timing, owner, dependencies
• Measurement and data quality — where the data comes from and whether it can be trusted
• Realisation, transition and review — how benefits pass to business as usual, and when they are reviewed

Thirteen pre-built tables.

The distinction that matters

A benefit is not an output. Delivering a new system is an output. Reducing processing time by forty per cent is a benefit — and only someone in operations can deliver it. Naming that person, in writing, at the start, is the single thing that most improves realisation.

Who it's for

Programme managers, benefits owners, PMOs, and executives who have approved business cases and want the benefits actually pursued.

Pairs with the Benefits Review Plan (A$16), which schedules the checks, and the Detailed Business Case (A$24), where the benefits were first claimed.
