Abstract <p>In the management of complex systems, the problem of analyzing the structures of various processes associated with different goal priorities arises. For strategic planning purposes, such structures represent the relationship between goals and tasks. They form the basis of a long-term plan for implementing the system’s development strategy, and taking into account the interrelations of different priorities is a fundamental issue of balanced, consistent planning. The goals and tasks are presented implicitly in one or more documents of the state strategic planning system. The article examines the problem of analyzing the structural and semantic characteristics of graphs of goals and tasks using the example of a structure that corresponds to the formed interconnected set of goals and tasks of the strategic planning document of the Russian Federation. The structure under study is represented by graphs of goals and tasks for individual priorities. The paper proposes a number of characteristics for assessing the properties of the graph of goals and tasks of the strategic planning system: the interconnectedness of goals, the balance of the graph of goals and tasks, and the unequal importance of goals. An analysis is carried out of the relationship between standard graph indices, such as the average degree of a vertex, the assortativity coefficient, the rank of the adjacency matrix, etc., with the proposed characteristics for the parametric description of the characteristics of goal and task graphs.</p>
