Email: ch_apostolopoulos@yahoo.co.uk ABSTRACT The benefits management approach complements most of the common project management methodologies such as crit- ical chain project management (CCPM), and PRINCE2. The majority of these methodologies focus on how to comply with three parameters: time, cost and quality instead of identifying the positive outcomes and benefits for an organiza- tion.

Moreover, a comparison between Benefits Management and PRINCE2 methodologies is illustrated. Keywords : Benefits Management, PRINCE2, Requirements Analysis 1.
