Abstract

This study gathered data from a sample of 35 Brazilian companies that develop new products and have PMOs in their organizational structure. Previous analyses show that Benefits Management (BM) is the only PMO function that is related to project performance in triple constraint, specifically the cost performance. This paper focuses on BM function to an in-depth understanding of its potential for improvements in cost performance. Logistic regression shows how impacted cost performance can be for each increment of effort in BM. Results can be used as a hypothesis for BM improvement according to predicted results on cost performance.
