Abstract

This game-changing chapter describes the unique and often catastrophic challenges involved in managing complex projects. The nature and dimensions of project complexity are discussed, including: team size, project duration, schedule, cost and scope flexibility, understanding of the problem and solution, stability of requirements, strategic importance, level of organizational change, inter-project dependencies and political sensitivity. Participants will be introduced to the new Project Complexity Model, a tool that is used to diagnose the complexity profile of a project. We explain the specific criteria or dimensions of complexity and propose complexity management strategies to manage each complexity dimension.
