Weighted Benefit per Stage


weighted benefit per stage

Determines the weightings to calculate the weighted benefits for opportunities at each stage in CoE Manager. The weighted benefit is calculated by multiplying the estimated value for each opportunity with the corresponding factor to reflect the confidence of the benefit being achieved. Typically, opportunities in the idea stage are weighted lightly and gain in weighted value as they progress toward deployment. The weighted value is used to estimate total program savings.
