BENEFIT COST-DRIVEN SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT - JO E...

This open access book presents a set of basic techniques for estimating the benefit of IT
development projects and portfolios. It also offers methods for monitoring how much of that
estimated benefit is being achieved during projects. Readers can then use these benefit
estimates together with cost estimates to create a benefit cost index to help them decide which
functionalities to send into construction and in what order. This allows them to focus on
constructing the functionality that offers the best value for money at an early stage. Although
benefits management involves a wide range of activities in addition to estimation and
monitoring  the techniques in this book provides a clear guide to achieving what has always
been the goal of project and portfolio stakeholders: developing systems that produce as much
usefulness and value as possible for the money invested. The techniques can also help deal with
vicarious motives and obstacles that prevent this happening. The book equips readers to
recognize when a project budget should not be spent in full and resources be allocated
elsewhere in a portfolio instead. It also provides development managers and upper management
with common ground as a basis for making informed decisions.
