  The purpose of this paper is developing a tool for evaluating projects – a range of numerical measurement in degrees – which includes a set of attributes of variables complexity in projects. The content of this paper is identified a set of variables that represent the attribute complexity. This set of variables was evaluated by 32 project managers who, through a questionnaire, validated two groups of 14 variables, which were analyzed through multivariate statistical techniques – the Multidimensional Scaling and Cluster Analysis. The analysis results showed that 10 variables have bigger adhesion of the attribute complexity therefore, they became part of the range measurement. This analysis also allowed resulting in the production of a scale that converges to the classification of attribute into a single point in relation to the complexity of projects. Existing scales for measuring attribute complexity in projects present a method for classification with qualitative analysis, which makes the subjective classification from the perspective of the project manager, so this paper proposes a scale of measurement in this attribute numerical grade. The Measurement Scale developed in this research can be easily applied to projects of different organizations kinds and sizes, and identifying the variables of the project.
