We changed our benefits and other factors section in transfers projects to benefits and risks.

A summary list called Benefits and risks. It has two rows: what are the intended benefits of the transfer? and Are there any risks to consider for this transfer?

User research

A number of delivery officers (DOs) felt that the rationale and benefits and risks sections have a similar purpose and should be merged.

A text area to write the rationale for a project.

"I would kind of expect like those benefits to be in the rationale section, because it's why it's happening." PB2.

“[Benefits and Rationale] They overlap quite a bit, but I am very new at this and the way I do it will evolve but I think it there is overlap [...] I am not sure where to put things in, it’s fitting those arguments, it feels like I am shoehorning different things." PB13, follow-up.

“I mean if I was writing a rationale for the transfer, that would very much include the benefits. And yeah, the benefits and risks.” PB4.

Next steps

We'll consider how to link the benefits and risks and rationale sections together.
