4.5.2 Services<br />

Services are classified as outputs only when they are first established by a project. This measurement branch<br />

should not be used to measure the operation of a service. Services are measured as operational processes that<br />

deliver an output of their own. When a service is commissioned (that is, when it is an output), it has only fit-forpurpose<br />

attributes.<br />

Fit for purpose (services)<br />

Services as outputs have a fit-forpurpose<br />

attribute, which is<br />

multivariate. Like products,<br />

services must meet the business<br />

requirements against which they<br />

are being established as well as<br />

any legislative requirements that<br />

may be applicable.<br />

4.1.1<br />

A. Specification<br />

Qualitative measures of the service for compliance<br />

with business initiative requirements and<br />

specifications. These are typically non-functional<br />

requirements that do not have a time lapse<br />

dimension to them, such as:<br />

� service points of presence<br />

� service delivery medium<br />

� service telephony provisions.<br />

B. Regulation<br />

Qualitative measurement of the service for<br />

compliance with requirements prescribed in<br />

applicable regulatory frameworks, legislative<br />

provisions and operational rulings, such as:<br />

� OH&S regulations<br />

� construction guidelines<br />

� rules of engagement.
