Explanation
Phase gate reviews for benefits realization consist of two key activities: (1) tracking and reporting actual benefits realized, and (2) identifying factors influencing delivery of those benefits. Identifying influencing factors is critical because it allows the governance board to understand what is enabling or impeding benefit delivery and make informed go/no-go decisions. Option A (tracking the plan) is a document, not an analytical activity. Option C (stage gate requirements) is too generic. Option D (gathering stakeholder requirements) is a planning activity, not a gate review activity.
