In the MSP transformational flow, where does the 'design the outcomes' process typically occur?

At the very end, after the 'evaluate the programme' process

After the 'identify the programme' process and before the 'plan the programme' process

At the very start, before the 'identify the programme' process

After the 'deliver the capability' process and before the 'embed the outcomes' process

A charity is running an MSP programme to modernise its donor management system. The programme team is about to start the design the outcomes process. Which statement best describes the position of this process in the transformational flow?

It occurs after the benefits are realised and the programme is closed.

It is the first process in the transformational flow, before the vision is defined.

It runs concurrently with the benefits management process and has no defined order.

It follows the vision and precedes the planning of how the outcomes will be delivered.

An insurance company is running an MSP programme to launch a new claims processing platform. The SRO is very hands-on and wants to personally approve every outcome and measure. The business change manager is experienced and has already drafted high-quality outcomes. The programme is on a tight schedule. What is the most effective way to run the design the outcomes process?

Have the business change manager draft the outcomes and measures, then review and approve them with the SRO in a structured workshop.

Let the business change manager finalise the outcomes without SRO involvement to save time.

Ask the programme office to approve the outcomes on behalf of the SRO.

Have the SRO write the outcomes personally to ensure they meet their expectations.

Which role is primarily responsible for leading the 'design the outcomes' process?

The Senior Responsible Owner (SRO)

A hospital is running an MSP programme to introduce electronic health records. During the design the outcomes process, the team has identified a potential outcome: 'Patients will have faster access to their records.' What is the most appropriate next step for the team?

Add this outcome to the benefits register immediately.

Move on to the next outcome to avoid slowing down the process.

Define a specific measure for this outcome, such as the average time from request to access.

Ask the SRO to approve the outcome before defining any measures.
