Benefits register

Benefits register is a document that collects and lists the planned benefits from a program. It is a very useful artefact for a program manager because the success or failure of a program is determined primarily by the benefits that were planned and actually delivered. The benefits register is created during the benefits identification stage of program management (PMI) and subsequently updated and refined. It is used for measurement and communication. The benefits register should contain the following.

• A list of the planned benefits • Key Performance Indicators (KPI) that will tell if the benefits have been realized • Thresholds (eg. “What is the minimum expectation in regard to a certain benefit?) • Method of measuring the benefit (eg. Finanical measures for financial benefits. Can be more complex for intangble benefits like “team well-being") • Mapping of planned benefits to program components (which components are responsible for realising a benefit?) • Status or progress indicator (how far is the realization of the benefit?) • Milestones for benefit achievement • Stakeholders responsible for benefit delivery
