Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

2.1.2 Explanation TOE framework

Course subject(s) Module 2. Project complexity assessment

The TOE framework, just introduced, aims to help you grasping the complexity of your project. Is your project merely complex in terms of technical elements? Or is it organisational complexity that bothers you? And/or are there external complexities to be expected in the project?

By scoring the (potential) appearance of elements in your project on a 5-point scale (none – little – some – substantial – very much), you will do a qualitative assessment. Results will be shown in the plots per dimension (technical, organizational and external).

You can download the sheet here and read the explanation of each of the elements. Just have a look at the elements and their explanation at this stage.
