Delivery Confidence Assessments

This guidance is designed to ensure assurance activities appropriately consider the unique challenges and complexities of digital projects when forming Delivery Confidence Assessments (DCAs). 

DCAs are an overall expression of the likelihood a digital project will deliver on expected benefits for Australians on time and on budget.

Digital project assurance

The Digital Transformation Agency (DTA) coordinates assurance for the Australian Government’s digital projects. 

The Assurance Framework for Digital and ICT Investments sets out how the DTA works to maximise the value of this assurance in keeping delivery teams focused on what must go right to deliver expected benefits for Australians.  

The DCA guidance prepared jointly with the John Grill Institute for Project Leadership is part of a research series engaging leading researchers around the world on the key factors influencing digital project success. This research is then translated into how the DTA works across the Australian Government to deliver on its purpose. 

You can learn more about the work of the DTA by visiting dta.gov.au.
