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. 410 0$aSimula SpringerBriefs on Computing 606 $aMathematical & statistical software$2bicssc 606 $aSoftware Engineering$2bicssc 606 $aDesenvolupament de programari$2thub 606 $aAnàlisi cost-benefici$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 610 $aMathematical Software 610 $aSoftware Engineering 610 $aopen access 610 $abenefits management 610 $abenefit points 610 $aearned business 610 $avalue management 610 $abenefit/costs index 610 $auncertainty assessment 610 $aperiodization 610 $aMathematical & statistical software 615 7$aMathematical & statistical software 615 7$aSoftware Engineering 615 7$aDesenvolupament de programari. 615 7$aAnàlisi cost-benefici 686 $aCOM051230$aCOM077000$2bisacsh 700 $aHannay$b Jo Erskine$01238977 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910488721003321 996 $aBenefit$92875077 997 $aUNINA
