Impact KPIs & benefits
Measured apart from delivery progress: an initiative can be well advanced with no impact yet, and the other way round

These KPIs and benefits do not enter the weighted progress above, and progress does not enter them.
Three separate measures
An example from this initiative: Government Backup Data Centre, Homs — Phase 2
1Deliverable weight in the project
40.0%
Weight of «Build» among its deliverables
Deliverable weights add up to 100% inside the project; it progresses as they are accepted.
See where it comes from2Project weight in the portfolio
16.4%
Its relative weight in Government Digital Infrastructure & Systems Portfolio
Set by the project weight model; it feeds portfolio progress: relative weight × actual progress.
See where it comes from3Contribution to the initiative
40%
Its contribution to «Government cloud & cybersecurity»
Approved by strategy management; it feeds this initiative’s progress only.
Each is set in its own place and moves neither of the others: changing a deliverable’s weight touches neither the project’s portfolio weight nor its contribution.
