The Unit ensures that the realisation of project benefits is monitored across the lifetime of the programme.
* The Unit's assurance processes ensure projects use a Benefits Review Plan that identifies the intended benefits, how they will be measured, and how, when and by whom they will be collected.
** The Unit ensures some independent assessment of performance against intended benefits, such as OGC's Gateways Reviews Four and Five. Emerging themes are identified and used to inform the support and procurement of other projects.
*** The Unit sets out the intended benefits of its programmes in a Benefits Realisation Plan and uses project evaluation to monitor their successful delivery. It continues to engage with projects during the operational phase to ensure that performance issues that threaten the intended benefits of the project and programme are identified and addressed.
