Product Description
This Benefits Management Framework is managed by the Enterprise Project Support with documentation available on the Enterprise Project Support portal on the Department’s intranet.
The framework has been developed to work in conjunction with both the Project Management Framework and the wider context of decisions around departmental investment in change. The framework aims to ensure a consistent streamlined approach to managing and realising benefits enabled by changes to the Department.
The purpose of the Benefits Management Framework is to provide:
- A framework of best practice principles drawn from latest experience in setting up and managing programs across the public sector and within the department;
- A standard approach to benefits identification, planning, management and realisation for the department’s Executive, Senior Responsible Owners (SROs), Division/Branch Heads, Program Directors/Managers, Business Change Managers, Project Managers, business analysts and program/project management office staff;
- Consistent terminology and benefits categorisation;
- A determinant of the maturity level of the department’s capability in portfolio, program and project management; and
- A contribution towards increased departmental management capability.
To facilitate reporting of benefits realisation, the benefit module in StrategyDotZero tool has been configured to allow for key components of the Benefit Profile and to record tracking of benefits realisation.
While the framework provides guidance around governance, process, and templates, it is recommended that the benefits management is undertaken with the support of the eps@pmc.gov.au
