ABSTRACT

Benefits management is the third domain in program management according to the Examination Content Outline. These questions constitute 11%, or 19 questions, on the PgMP® exam. Since programs are established in order to obtain greater benefits than if the projects and other work that comprise them were managed in a standalone fashion, it is essential to focus on benefits management from the time the program was set forward in its business case, as a candidate to be in the organization’s portfolio, until the program is officially closed, and the realized benefits then are transferred to others.
