Perrow states that complex tasks have both high task variability, meaning the tasks themselves are unpredictable, and low task analyzability, meaning it is difficult to clearly define the steps needed to complete the task. Routine tasks, on the other hand, have low task variability and high task analyzability. Task interdependence and technical complexity are not the distinguishing characteristics between routine and complex tasks, according to Perrow.
