Curtin University: Perth Arena Benefits Realisation Plan (PRJM 6005)

This assignment focuses on developing a benefits realisation plan for the Perth Arena project, treated as a program. The report includes a benefits realisation table with three projects: Retractable Roof, Solar Panels, and Arena Ground Preparation. For each project, the plan identifies three benefits, key performance indicators (KPIs), sources for verification, responsible persons, and potential risks. The assignment adheres to the provided template and guidelines, assuming the arena is 75% complete and considering the project's program management aspects. It highlights the importance of sustainability, economic uplift, and multi-purpose utilization of the arena, addressing potential legal, ethical, and operational challenges.
