Which of the following is NOT a main element of the benefits management practice?

Question

Options

• AClear arrangements for benefits tracking
• BA portfolio-level Benefits Realization Plan
• CInclusion of re-appraisal of benefits in portfolio-level reviews
• DDemonstrable senior management commitment

• A
  7% (2)
• B
  4% (1)
• C
  89% (25)

Explanation

Option C describes an activity that belongs to portfolio-level review practice, not a core element of the benefits management practice itself. Re-appraising benefits is something that happens within periodic portfolio reviews as a broader governance function, rather than being a defining component of how benefits management is structured and operated.

Options A, B, and D are all genuine pillars of benefits management practice: clear tracking arrangements (A) ensure benefits are monitored systematically over time; a portfolio-level Benefits Realization Plan (B) provides the overarching document that maps expected benefits to initiatives; and senior management commitment (D) is essential because benefits realization often spans organizational boundaries and requires executive authority to enforce accountability.

Memory tip: Think of the three "real" elements as the who, what, and how of benefits management - senior management (who owns it), the Benefits Realization Plan (what we're tracking), and tracking arrangements (how we measure it). Re-appraisal during reviews is a portfolio governance activity, not a benefits management building block - if it sounds like it belongs in a meeting agenda rather than a benefits framework, it's probably a distractor.
