The Benefits Register

Keeping expected value and observed value in different columns.

How the practice works

Each benefit records its baseline, proposed mechanism, receiving owner and evidence. Forecasts are updated when assumptions change. The register retains costs and dependencies that would otherwise disappear between a business case and its celebration.

A working example

A consolidation ends one licence but introduces additional support work. The register records both effects, producing a smaller but more credible benefit. The team can still describe progress without borrowing value from a future release.
