2 PROJECT CLASSIFICATIONS

Characteristic

Low

Medium

High

Characteristic

Low

Medium

High

Complexity

The deliverables, requirements, and technology are well understood and have been implemented before. It is anticipated that solution will be straightforward to implement and will have minimal to low impact on other systems and services.

There is some uncertainty with regards to the deliverables, requirements, or technology. Or, the solution is of medium technical complexity with moderate impact to other systems and services.

The team may be attempting to implement deliverables, requirements, or technology that is not well understood. Even if these things are well understood, the solution itself may be technically complex, requiring coordination across many systems and services, disciplines and teams.

Impact

A project may be considered to have a low impact for several reasons. 1) The project will affect a small number of public health partners. 2) It has a low profile or low urgency. 3) It is not a critical dependency for other projects, systems, or services.

A project with a medium impact will affect a moderate number of public health partners; the project may have some urgency or visibility; or it may be a dependency for other projects, systems, or services.

A project may be considered to have a high impact for several reasons. 1) It will affect a large number of public health partners, such as STLTs, CDC programs, HCOs, etc. 2) It has a high visibility and high urgency for the public health community. 3)  Many other systems and services are dependent on the project’s success.

Resources / Interested Parties

A low designation indicates that the project has a limited number of interested parties to coordinate and who will determine the project’s goals and affect its progress.

A medium designation indicates that the project has a moderate number of interested parties to coordinate and whose ideas and input will be important to realizing the project’s goals and deliverables.

A high designation indicates that the project will involve complicated coordination and input from multiple interested parties, such as STLTs, CDC programs, AIMS developers, HCOs, and other vendors or project teams, and that their ideas and input will be critical to realizing the project’s goals and deliverables.

Alignment

Project at customer request; Not consistent with APHL strategic direction.

Project aligns partially to APHL strategic direction.

Project aligns directly with APHL goals or key initiatives.

Urgency

Project has no required completion date.

Project has a flexible completion date.
