Deliver the Capability and Realise the Benefits are two distinct sets of processes, which need to be managed closely together during a tranche. Manage the Tranches oversees these two processes, providing the high level direction, guidance and control.
These sets of processes are followed for each tranche until the expected programme outcomes have been achieved.
The Deliver Phase covers three key sets of activities
- Manage the tranches – the overarching day to day programme management and control activities required to manage a tranche successfully. Includes the setup and management of the tranche, preparing for the following tranche and formal closure of the current tranche.
- Deliver the capability – the activities required to coordinate project delivery within a tranche. Includes creating the Project Briefs, initiating the projects within a tranche, ensuring stakeholders are engaged, monitoring and managing project activity within its tolerances and formally closing a project ensuring outputs are handed over to the programme.
- Realise the benefits – The activities required to manage transition within a tranche and realise benefits. Includes the planning and management of activities required pre, during and post transition to ensure that benefits are successfully realised.
