Abstract/Summary: This paper explores how complex R&D projects working in an iterative way and is in progress, can be assessed and how the assessments can be used in the projects in order to ensure success. Based on experiences from the PLM-related PROMISE and IT-development PRIME projects we will present how such processes have been carried out, and present a framework for assessment of complex R&D projects with feedback loops to the stakeholders and the project itself.
