PRINCE2-Foundation Exam - Question 217


Which are reasons for a benefits management approach?

1. To state how improvements will be measured

2. To confirm that the benefits are realized

3. To estimate the costs of improvement

4. To define the reason for delivering the improvement

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AD

A benefits management approach is designed to state how improvements will be measured and to confirm that the benefits are realized. This is important to ensure that projects deliver their intended outcomes and that these outcomes are quantifiable. Additionally, the benefits management approach defines the reason for delivering the improvement, which helps to align the project with organizational goals. Estimating the costs of improvement is not typically within the scope of a benefits management approach but falls under cost management or financial planning.

a: Let's look at why the other options are less central: 3. To estimate the costs of improvement: While cost estimation is part of the overall business case, it's not the primary focus of benefits management. Benefits management emphasizes the value created, not just the cost. 4. To define the reason for delivering the improvement: This is closely related to the project's objectives and the business case, which should already exist. Benefits management focuses on how those improvements will be measured and confirmed. Key takeaway: A benefits management approach is essential for ensuring that projects deliver real value and achieve their intended outcomes. It's about defining how benefits will be measured and confirming their realization throughout the project lifecycle.

The correct answer is: A. 1 and 2 Explanation: A Benefits Management Approach in PRINCE2 outlines how and when a project’s benefits will be measured and confirmed. It helps ensure the project delivers value beyond just outputs. The reasons for having a benefits management approach include: 1. To state how improvements will be measured You must define what benefits are expected and how you will know they’ve been achieved. 2. To confirm that the benefits are realized After the project, someone (often the business or operations) must follow up and verify that benefits actually occurred.
