Business Value

The overall measurable gain an organization obtains from a business initiative after considering costs and benefits. This gain can be tangible, intangible, or a combination of both.

Key Points

  • Represents the net, measurable benefit achieved by the organization from an endeavor.
  • Includes tangible results (revenue, cost savings, assets) and intangible results (brand equity, customer satisfaction, knowledge).
  • Should be defined with clear metrics, baselines, and a benefits realization plan.
  • Guides portfolio, program, and project selection and prioritization to maximize organizational outcomes.

Example

A company implements a self-service support portal. Tangible benefits include a 20% reduction in call center operating costs; intangible benefits include higher customer satisfaction and faster resolution times. Together, these constitute the business value of the project.
