Introduction to Complex Projects

Abstract

Complexity is an inherent feature of any project. It is used to classify and designate project managers. Explaining whether a project is complex, classifying this complexity and thus score for prioritization is often not a simple task. Each project will have its particularity, and this will be even more particular within each business sector. A $1 million project can be simple for a construction company, but of high complexity for an information technology company. This chapter will address common complexity concepts for different business sectors.
