  title = {Managing Information on Goals and Benefits during Development Initiatives},
  abstract = {The main reason for initiating a software development initiative
is to produce value for stakeholders. However, software projects vary
in their degrees of success in delivering the intended value. Since software
projects can consume a significant amount of resources, a lack of focus on
delivering value can result in bad investments. Research suggests that the
absence of frameworks and techniques to support organizations in benefits
management activities may be the reason for the lack of focus on
value creation in daily development life. To increase the motivation for,
and the focus on, benefits management, we implemented a generalized
version of a set of published benefit estimation and tracking techniques so
that they are accessible in an extensively used development management
platform (Jira). The techniques are for declaring goals and goal structures
and for expressing estimates of the system{\textquoteright}s contribution to the
goals. The usability of the system was tested with IT professionals, the
preliminary results are promising for further development on the present
functionality and for other pieces of benefits management functionality
in the future.},
