The Need to Focus on Business Benefits and Value For decades, project managers were trained to focus on the creation of the deliverables defined in the project's requirement, often with little regard for the expected business benefits and business value. This is now changing as companies have a better understanding of business benefits and value and are updating their methodologies and frameworks. Some frameworks, such as Agile and SCRUM, appear to do a better job identifying than traditional project management practices tracking and reporting business benefits and value.
