Comments on: Why Don’t We Track Project Benefits? http://www.ciodashboard.com/metrics-and-measurement/we-dont-track-project-benefits/ IT Strategies for CIOs and IT leaders Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:06:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Craig Lashmet http://www.ciodashboard.com/metrics-and-measurement/we-dont-track-project-benefits/comment-page-1/#comment-23657 Craig Lashmet Tue, 29 Jun 2010 21:35:49 +0000 http://www.ciodashboard.com/?p=2534#comment-23657 A nice article on a massive issue. There are other challenges to tracking benefits - money and resources. Most companies have too many other fires, new projects to contemplate, processes and systems to maintain. It's expensive to send analysts or consultants out, after an implemented solution, to "see what has happened" relative to the business case assumptions. Ask the question of management, did you get the results you projected in your business case?, and the answer will 99.9% of the time be, "we don't know, it's all just a gut feel anyway". The answer: Realtime ROI - continuous business activity monitoring tied to a business case engine that not only "projects" what the benefits and costs associated with management judgement and quantitative assumptions, but also gets live feeds of what the "actual" empirical data of the assumptions and business rules. We have developed such a solution and have implemented at our clients. It's an enlightening and liberating outcome when management can actually monitor and measure the ROI and EBIT generation from process and system solutions implemented! A nice article on a massive issue.
