Benefits realization is a key aspect of program management. While a project manager focuses on delivering outputs and typically moving on, the program manager has to have a holistic view of all the projects and the various operational components as well. In this discussion identify a case study (or a project anywhere) and focus on benefits. You can also use your previous experience. Research the Benefits Realization Framework document from PMI. Make sure you address the following questions:
Have you ever been responsible for realizing the benefits of your projects/programs? If yes, describe, if no, research a good case study to write about.
Optional: Draw a program roadmap. Identify is the audience for the program roadmap? Does the program roadmap provide value to them?
What benefits were delivered from which projects?
