Benefits Review

Check whether delivered work produced the expected operational or business value.

Type: Project recordVersion: v7

Project use

Use this after delivery to test whether the work produced the expected operational or business value.

  1. Restate the original expected benefit in measurable or observable terms.
  2. Compare actual outcome with baseline, forecast, and user experience.
  3. Separate delivery success from benefit realization; a project can ship and still miss value.
  4. Identify adoption, process, support, or measurement gaps.
  5. Decide whether to continue, adjust, close, or create follow-up work.

Expected output

A project record that states the decision, owner, boundary, dependency, next checkpoint, and evidence needed to continue.

Common failure mode

Declaring success at launch while never checking whether the result helped.

Use notes

Best triggerUse before a project decision becomes expensive to reverse.
EvidenceKeep enough context to explain the decision later without reconstructing conversations.
Review pointReview when scope, stakeholder expectation, timing, risk, or ownership changes.
