Each indicator is rated according to four levels of complexity (4 = very high complexity, 3 = high complexity, 2 = low complexity, 1 = very low complexity). If the total complexity value is equal or exceeding 18 points, a project is appropriate to be used in a certification process on IPMA Level C. Ratings between 16 and 20 points need a careful verification. For a complete evaluation all criteria have to be rated. For a complete evaluation all criteria have to be rated. On completing the scheme the Total complexity score is calculated. When complexity is evaluated the project management complexity is in focus not the complexity of the project task. Just forward complexity evaluation of the project which you later, in the application, report on experiences but do use the form for assessing more/all projects.
