An Agile Approach to Delivery Allows Sponsors To:
1. Review performance to date versus the business case at regular intervals
2. Check that the direction and end state are still sound (ie no significant shift in the market or new disruptors)
3. Determine whether the investment is still the best option for future capital investment (Portfolio Optimization), or whether further investment is perhaps warranted to exploit the opportunity.

What Does This Look Like?For an Individual Benefit

Maintain Benefit Focus in Delivery

This All Starts with theBusiness Case The Business Case is the Mandate from the
organisation to deliver value
It is not just used to ‘justify’ the investment of resources, but as a roadmap to value creation
Includes lead indicators to measure performance during delivery
Should be reviewed regularly to consider internal and external factors

Business Case Reviews
Need to regularly review each business case to determine:
– Initiatives are still strategically aligned
– Delivery Performance ($, time)
– Benefits are likely to be realised
If an initiative no longer fits, have the decency to kill it!
