Benefits realization management (BRM) is a key part of governance, because it supports the strategic creation of value and provides the correct level of prioritization and executive support to the correct initiatives. Because of its relevance to the governance process, BRM has a strong influence over project success and is a link between strategic planning and strategy execution.
This book guides portfolio, program, and project managers through the process of benefits realization management so they can maximize business value. It discusses why and how programs and projects are expected to enable value creation, and it explains the role of BRM in value creation. The book provides a flexible framework for:
Translating business strategy drivers into expected benefits and explains the subsequent composition of a program and project portfolio that can realize expected benefits
Planning the benefits realization expected from programs and projects and then making it happen
Keeping programs and projects on track
Reviewing and evaluating the benefits achieved or expected against the original baselines and the current expectations.
To help project, program, and portfolio managers on their BRM journey, as well as to support business managers in executing business strategies, the book identifies key organizational responsibilities and roles involved in BRM practices, and it provides a simple reference that can be mapped against any organizational structure. A detailed and comprehensive case study illustrates each phase of the BRM framework as it links business strategy to project work, benefits, and business value. Each chapter ends with a series questions that provide a BRM self-assessment. The book concludes with a set of templates and detailed instructions to ensure successful deployment of BRM.

You Are About To Learn How To Spot Impediments In Work Progress Visually, Improve Teamwork And Communication Between Your Team Members And Have A Perfect Workflow By Leveraging The Power Of Kanban Boards
Are you sick and tired of not being able to spot bottlenecks and stalled tasks in the process of project development; not being able to improve efficiency within a fixed budget or spot inefficiencies?
Have you tried endless other solutions whilst trying not to overburden your team by pushing the work on your team but nothing seems to work for more than a few weeks or months?
Do you finally want to say goodbye to making futile efforts to revamp your operational processes and discover something, which works for you?
If so, then you've come to the right place.
You see, having a very efficient workflow system that guarantees maximum productivity, a happier, empowered team and reduced waste doesn't have to be difficult- even if you've tried all styles of management you can think of and failed.
In fact, it's easier than you think.
A study published in Springer Link found that Kanban is heavily used in software companies to increase visibility to work, improve developmental flow, increase team communication and facilitate coordination. The study also notes that its success has also been attributed to its ease of learning.
Another report of a case study done at Aalborg University Copenhagen notes that applying Kanban produces impressive results in group communication, coordination of project tasks, improves knowledge about work progress and improves on teamwork, all of which increase work output.
That means that you don't have to spend too much time or other resources chasing information when you can visually manage all your work with Kanban boards, improve employee morale and efficiency, and increase your organization's productivity.
I know you're now probably wondering:
So what are these boards really- how do they look like?
How can I implement this system or get started with it with zero prior knowledge?
How does Kanban compare against other existing methodologies?
This book is here to answer these and more questions you may be having so keep reading...
More precisely, you will learn:
The basics of the Kanban system
Compelling reasons why you should adopt Kanban
How to adopt/implement the Kanban, including how to deploy the system
What the Kanban board looks like, what it is used for and how to use it well, including adding and setting columns
How to grow beyond the board in your implementation of Kanban
The concept of environment and teamwork in Kanban and why it matters
The benefits you can expect from adopting Kanban
How Kanban reduces risk and creates improved software
Kanban versus other methodologies
How to maintain Kanban
How Kanban fits into the lean methodology

The text discusses what is important in global terms and details how best to choose teams and partners, including outsourcers, and how to employ the latest tools and technologies. It provides models, metrics, and detailed case studies to improve current and future development projects, whether in house or outsourced, near shore or off-shore. The book offers perspectives on how quality improvement through software quality assurance (SQA) testing, planning, and execution is a powerful and effective route toward maximizing return on investment.
Divided into seven chapters, this friendly and informative guide can be read quickly, then used as a reliable reference by team leaders and members. It begins by reviewing software development, tools, and methodologies, followed by an examination of how development, maintenance, and integration have become more complex and will continue to do so. The book discusses best practices for managing this complexity and explores the business case for maximizing ROI. The text then provides a comprehensive analysis of ROI from several perspectives, covering nomenclature, project success and failure, mathematics, processes, work products, and techniques. It details how to make global teams successful and how to evaluate Applied ROI implementation, and it includes case studies for wireless, enterprise, and CRM systems.
