Benefit realization usually becomes another add-on process that usually gets neglected and before it can achieve its full potential it will fail at least in most examples i have seen. What do you think are the various issues concerning the adoption of benefit realization process that you have dealt with and how have (or can) you overcome those

@ Stephen Dell : Your perspective on BBR syncs with that of mine infinite :) Yes, we might be able to deliver playing the game within triple constraints - Scope Time & Cost. Still our project might be a failure from add value perspective. This way, we should think whether to deliver projects successfully or deliver successful projects. Obviously option-B is the need of the hour - agreed?
Now, let's try to postmortem on who's who??? Typically,( in my experience) I assign this glitch to poor requirements collection. Lack of clarity in higher level requirements, which mostly stay biased or unmeasurable hypes might ill drive us towards wrong direction. Can be any dam reason, we're hear to deliver successful projects. Saving Changes...

@ Arpad: I'm with you... How PMO is responsible for BB realization???? PMO typically exists for projects governance, as we're all aware :) It's the look out of the C guys to think broader, just not relying of WIFMs (what's in it for me - (at this point of time). We're hear to take the business case forward by virtue of our hierarchy - right? Saving Changes...

In my experience it is essential for successful benefit realisation that this is not allowed to become just a post-project completion activity.
In all but the simplest projects, at least some benefits ought to start being achieved during the life of the project - and formally realised and measured. That way the process is established and can be handed over at the end of the project instead of becoming an "add on" that is neglected. Saving Changes...
