Explanation

A benefits management plan is the formal document used to define, document, and communicate the expected benefits of a project - including target benefits, how they will be measured, timelines, and alignment with organizational strategy. This is precisely what the Portfolio Steering Committee needs to evaluate business value. A presentation or market study may support the case, but they are not the structured planning artifact designed for this purpose. A feasibility study addresses viability, not benefit measurement.
