The 'Deliver the Capability' process in Managing Successful Programmes (MSP) focuses on the coordination and management of the projects that produce the programme's outputs. Its primary objectives are to oversee the entire lifecycle of these projects, from initiation to closure, ensuring they are conducted in a controlled manner. A crucial part of this oversight is the active management of risks and issues that arise during project execution to ensure the successful delivery of the required capabilities. These two activities are central to the process's purpose of creating the programme's outputs.

To ensure that stakeholders adopt new ways of working. This is an objective of the 'Realize the Benefits' process, which focuses on business change and embedding the new capabilities into operational practice.

To ensure that controls are put in place so that benefit realization continues in BAU. This is also an objective of the 'Realize the Benefits' process, specifically related to transitioning the capabilities and sustaining benefits in the long term.

Section 13.5.1, 'Purpose and objectives' of the 'Deliver the capability' process: This section explicitly lists the objectives, including: "Oversee the initiation, execution, and closure of projects in a controlled manner" and "Manage the risks and issues that arise during the delivery of capability." This directly supports options 3 and 4.

Section 13.6.1, 'Purpose and objectives' of the 'Realize the benefits' process: This section outlines objectives such as: "Plan and manage the transition of capabilities from the programme to BAU" and "Ensure that benefits are realized, measured, and sustained." This confirms that options 1 and 2 belong to the 'Realize the Benefits' process, not 'Deliver the Capability'.
