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

Three separate measures
An example from this initiative: Entrepreneurship Fast Track Platform
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
20.5%
Its relative weight in Institutional Excellence & Capability Portfolio
Set by the project weight model; it feeds portfolio progress: relative weight × actual progress.
See where it comes from3Contribution to the initiative
45%
Its contribution to «Capability building & entrepreneurship»
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.
