Goals

The complexity assessment is performed to help successfully introduce complexity reduction into a corporation. The purposes of the complexity assessment are as follows:

1. Evaluate a corporation's current complexity strategy and the implementation of that strategy in current software projects and various systems groups.

2. Use the results of the assessment to determine a corporation's complexity goals, elements of a complexity program to achieve those goals, and domains in which to focus complexity efforts.

3. Recommend actions to take to implement its complexity strategy.

Instituting the practice of complexity reduction across a corporation is a large, complex task in itself, especially if the ultimate goal is to practice complexity reduction practices ...
