ENGM90007: Project Management Benefits Map Analysis & Report

This assignment analyzes benefits maps, which are visual representations of a project's value proposition, designed to generate stakeholder consensus and commitment. The solution includes a Value Proposition Benefits Map and a Benefits Journey Map, detailing components required to generate benefits, strategic alignment, assumptions, interdependencies, and risks. The project focuses on a case study, addressing problems such as declining visitation, lack of focus on aborigines, and inadequate infrastructure, proposing solutions such as technological integration, wellness centers, and marketing strategies to increase competitiveness. The assignment also emphasizes the importance of revalidating benefits maps throughout a project's lifecycle. The assignment is based on the course ENGM90007 Project Management Practices, including analysis of a business case, and an Investment Logic Map (ILM).

Benefits Map
Using this Template
Benefits Maps are a pictorial representation of the value proposition of a programme / project and are an important communication mechanism to help
generate stakeholder consensus and commitment. They can also be utilised to identify the components required to generate benefits, including the key
activities and outputs required, their alignment with organisational strategy, and any assumptions, interdependencies and risks associated with their delivery.
For Programmes / Major / Large Projects, it is recommended that a Value Proposition Benefits Map should be generated as an outcome of the Investment
Logic Mapping (ILM) process and incorporated into business case submissions.
For Minor / Small Projects, a Value Proposition Benefits Map is optional, but should be considered in situations where the value proposition is unclear or
where the benefits are reliant on multiple dependencies.
The Benefits Journey Map is optional and should be considered where greater clarity of the journey to achieve the end benefits is required, in order to
support development of the programme / project schedule e.g. to identify dependencies, outputs, and interim benefits.
Benefits Maps should be revalidated throughout the course of a programme / project, noting that changing circumstances, new information, and / or reliance
on assumptions may necessitate their revision. Events that can impact benefits realisation include programme / project scope changes, solution selection
decisions, timing / scope of rollout, and the emergence of issues.
