Each KPA includes –Goals –Approach –Deployment –Review –Perception –Measures

9. Document Number: 0749-06-01 Version: 1v0 www.outperform.co.uk © Outperform UK Ltd 9 Example KPA – Business Case Goal Recognise and establish a framework for informed decision-making in planning and management of business change and the subsequent benefits realisation. Provide sufficient clarity so that stakeholders understand fully what the proposed investment will mean for the organisation. Ensure that there are appropriate owners for each key aspect of a business case, e.g. achievability aspects, commercial aspects etc. Ensure that each business case is formally approved and signed-off by an ‘Investment Decision Maker’. Approach A Senior Responsible Owner (SRO) should be responsible for each business case. Each business case should provide information about the benefits and the risks in achieving them, costs and timescales. Each business case should effectively describe what the value is to the sponsoring organisation from the outcomes of a programme, and / or deliverables from projects. Each business case should provide a single point of reference for justifying the proposed investment.

10. Document Number: 0749-06-01 Version: 1v0 www.outperform.co.uk © Outperform UK Ltd 10 Example KPA – Business Case Deployment Programme-level business cases should provide a summation of project-level business cases and provide the programme’s overall balance of benefits and costs against strategic objectives. Business cases should provide the business justification and be maintained throughout the life of programmes and projects, to ensure that progress remains aligned to strategic objectives. The investment justification presented in business cases should be based on the requirement for realisation of benefits to the stakeholders sponsoring the programme and / or project. The business case should be developed by iteration through the stages of the lifecycle and be an aggregation of information developed in other programme and project documentation. The integrity of the information included in the business case and the related documentation should be maintained, providing an audit trail. Business cases should present a range of options to consider how the programme’s outcomes or project outputs could be achieved; there should be a detailed option appraisal to compare the likely costs, benefits and risks associated with each option. Etc

11. Document Number: 0749-06-01 Version: 1v0 www.outperform.co.uk © Outperform UK Ltd 11 Example KPA – Business Case ReviewBusiness cases at both programme and project levels should be constantly monitored and regularly reviewed (as a minimum at the end of each tranche). PerceptionThe views of stakeholders should be sought regarding whether business cases continue to present an accurate picture on the desirability, viability, and achievability of programmes and projects. Performance measures Business case review should answer to what extent are: – Programmes (still) affordable – Outcomes (still) achievable – Programmes (still) demonstrating value for money – Options comprehensively considered.
