Abstract

Complexity is ubiquitous in modern IT engineering and project management. It is traditionally associated with risk and failure. But complexity also works: it delivers functionality, creativity, innovation. This paper proposes a conceptual framework to support IT Project Complexity Management in a structured, systematic way, consisting of the following processes: plan, identify, analyze, plan response strategies, monitor and control. The processes interact with each other and with other project management processes; they overlap, are incremental and iterative. They are described in terms of inputs and outputs, with a detailed inventory of available tools and techniques proposed for each process and step.
