 DEGREE OF COMPLEXITY
SIMPLE
Number of functionalities getting affected (developed) in
Front End is > =1<=4; Known Functionality & Feature.
If it’s CR development & Affecting > 1 < =2 functionality.
(~20 %).
Change in Screen Layout without change in structures and
not affecting more than 25 % of application functionalities
Business risk involved is <40%
(simple Information collection & search, employee profiler,
request/approval system with simple business logic)
 DEGREE OF COMPLEXITY
AVERAGE
Number of functionalities getting affected (developed) in Front
End is >4<=8
If it’s CR development & Affecting > 2 <= 5 functionality. (~40
%).
Change in Screen Layout without change in structures and
not affecting more than 50 % of application functionalities.
Business risk involved is 40-70%
(simple e-Learning , Information search, employee profiler,
request/approval system with average business logic)
 COMPLEX
Number of functionalities getting affected (developed) in
Front End is >8
If it’s CR development & Affecting > 5 functionality (~60 %).

Change in Screen Layout without change in structures and

affecting more than 50 % of application functionalities.
Business risk involved is 70-100%
(Complicated e-commerce, Banking, ERP, Third Part / E-
Payment / currency transaction involvement and
request/approval system with complex business logic)
 FUNCTIONAL RISK PARAMETERS
Low
Number of processes (E2E Scenario) involved is >= 1<3
Maximum actor involved in system is >=1 < 3.

Features enhancement rather than the entirely new CR.

Involves change in the system forcing to system forcing to

V&V ~25% system (impact analysis)
 FUNCTIONAL RISK PARAMETERS
Medium
Number of processes (E2E Scenario) involved is >= 3<5
Maximum actor involved in system is >=3<5

Developing utilities from scratch and feeding other

processes.
Involves change in the system forcing system forcing to
V&V ~40% system (impact analysis)
 High
Number of processes (E2E Scenario) involved is >= 5.
Entirely fresh development & involving maximum actor in
system is >=5
Developing entirely new utilities / processes / functionality

Involves change in the system forcing to V&V >50%

system (impact analysis) OR entire system altogether
