Criteria for Evaluating the Success of Large-Scale Engineering Programs

Abstract

The success framework describes performance aspects of large-scale engineering programs. It consists of 26 metrics in 5 categories. They are: 1. Enterprise strategy alignment, 2. Performance and quality, 3. Learning and change, 4. Process quality and efficiency, and 5. Financial and business success. It adds to the current literature accounting for added complexity and uncertainty when progressing from the project to the engineering program level. The findings are based on an extensive literature review and validation through an industry focus group.
