Project Manager Vs Project driver conflict?

Accountability for the delivery of project lies with the Project Manager.

The success of the project is defined by the how well the benefits are realised.

Therefore accountability for benefits realisation lies with the Project Manager.

It is worth noting that a lot of project managers are judged on project delivery on time and to budget. The project itself will be judged on benefits realisation. This can be unfortunate as what actions a project manager should take to deliver a project on time and to budget are not always the same actions they should take to realise the benefits of the project deliverables.

What a bummer.
