Project Complexity Profile

Select importance and complexity for each variable. Influence is calculated as importance × complexity. If a variable is not applicable, its influence is zero.

Technical complexity

TC01: Design novelty and bespoke engineering
Extent of bespoke design, non-standard solutions or engineering beyond established practice.
TC02: Systems and interfaces density
Number and complexity of interfaces between disciplines, systems, equipment or services that must align.
TC03: Technology maturity and technical uncertainty
Level of uncertainty from unproven methods, new technology or incomplete technical information.
TC04: Quality and performance assurance burden
Extent of testing, inspection, commissioning and verification required to demonstrate performance.

Programme constraints

PC01: Schedule compression and immovable milestones
Extent to which the programme is constrained by fixed deadlines or limited tolerance for delay.
PC02: Dependency on third party approvals and inputs
Reliance on external approvals, information or actions outside direct project control.
PC03: Phasing, staging, and operational continuity
Complexity of phasing, staging, sequencing and operational continuity requirements.
PC04: Change volatility and scope evolution risk
Likelihood and impact of scope change and evolving requirements during delivery.

Site conditions

SC01: Site access constraints and logistics
Constraints on access, logistics, working space and operating conditions that affect sequencing and productivity.
SC02: Ground conditions and geotechnical uncertainty
Uncertainty or difficulty due to ground conditions, contamination, groundwater, rock or incomplete geotechnical information.
SC03: Utilities, services, and existing asset interfaces
Complexity from existing services, diversions, tie-ins and integration with existing assets.
SC04: Environmental and community constraints at site
Constraints from environmental sensitivities, community impact or site specific regulatory controls.

Regulatory requirements

RR01: Permitting and statutory compliance workload
Volume and complexity of permits, licences, statutory submissions and compliance requirements.
RR02: Safety, health, and major hazard controls
Level of safety and health control required due to high risk activities or major hazard conditions.
RR03: Environmental assessment and mitigation obligations
Extent of environmental approvals, mitigation measures, monitoring and reporting requirements.
RR04: Standards compliance and third party certification
Requirement to meet standards, audits, certification or independent technical assurance.

Stakeholder environment

SE01: Stakeholder number and alignment complexity
Number of stakeholders and level of alignment or conflict between their objectives.
SE02: Decision rights clarity and governance maturity
Clarity of decision rights, authority, escalation paths and governance structures.
SE03: Public interest, reputational exposure, and sensitivity
Level of public scrutiny, reputational sensitivity or political and community exposure.
SE04: End user and operator integration requirements
Extent of end user or operator involvement in design, commissioning and handover.

Delivery structure

DS01: Contracting strategy complexity and packaging
Complexity of contracting strategy, packaging and allocation of scope and risk.
DS02: Supply chain constraint and long lead items
Risk from supply constraints, long lead items and dependence on key vendors.
DS03: Resource capability, mobilisation, and coordination burden
Extent of reliance on scarce skills, specialist resources and coordination effort.
DS04: Information management and coordination tooling
Complexity of information management, coordination systems and data exchange requirements.

Optional user defined variables

You may add up to three additional variables. These should be assigned to a project domain category for analysis.
