Nearly 1/3 of project failures are caused by unclear objectives and/or a lack of business focus. [McKinsey 2012]

Both causes of failure can be addressed through the process of engaging stakeholders in the production of a benefits map. The interactive process of creating these maps drives stakeholders towards a consensus definition of project success, and contributes to a well-defined business case. The resultant maps may be used throughout the life-cycle to analyse impacts on benefits.
