商品描述

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.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本開放存取的書籍介紹了一套基本技術,用於估算資訊科技(IT)開發專案和投資組合的效益。它還提供了監控在專案執行過程中實現了多少預估效益的方法。

讀者可以將這些效益估算與成本估算結合,創建一個效益/成本指數,以幫助他們決定哪些功能應該進行建設以及建設的順序。這使他們能夠在早期階段專注於建設提供最佳性價比的功能。

儘管效益管理涉及估算和監控以外的廣泛活動,但本書中的技術提供了一個清晰的指導,幫助實現專案和投資組合利益相關者一直以來的目標:開發能夠為所投資的資金產生最大效用和價值的系統。這些技術還可以幫助處理間接動機和阻礙,防止這種情況的發生。本書使讀者能夠識別何時專案預算不應全部支出,並將資源重新分配到投資組合的其他地方。它還為開發經理和高層管理提供了共同的基礎,以便做出明智的決策。
