Risk
Measurement of the complexity of
a project is a necessary step in
the assessment of the internal
risk that is associated with the
project. It is through that
assessment process that
measurement of complexity helps
to inform project investment
decisions.
Qualitative measures of the risk
exposure that a project is subject
to. These measures are indices
derived from the agencyendorsed
risk management
framework.

A. Coverage (project)
Qualitative measures that describe the scope
coverage of a project in relation to the overall
government program. This is important when
assessing project complexity and risk.
Segmented government programs (multiple
projects) carry increased exposure to the risk
of project outputs being ineffective in realising
intended outcomes.
B. Specialisation (project)
Qualitative measures that describe the levels
of non-generic skills and qualifications that will
be required in order for a project to be
completed in conformance with applicable
regulation and legislation and to satisfactory
levels.
