Benefits realization is the practice of ensuring that benefits are derived from outputs and outcomes.
This Microsoft Excel spreadsheet template is for recording and tracking project benefits including benefit name and description, current baseline measurement, target realization start date, target realization completion date, realization certainty RAG (red amber green status), realization profile and benefit owners and sign-off.
The purpose of this editable template tracker is to identify what has to be done to realize benefits and how this will be achieved. Benefits realization planning is concerned with ensuring that the necessary plans, structures, governance arrangements and processes are in place to successfully realize the core benefits of the Programme or project.
A benefits realization plan acts as an overview of the main milestones detailed in each benefit profile. It serves as a management tool to monitor, track and manage the collective set of benefits associated with a Programme or project.
