Abstract
IT project complexity increases continuously, in synchrony with technological complexity, making projects difficult to manage and control. Despitea growing importance and priorityin research, there is still a strong need for solutions to the significant challengesposed by complexity. This paper presents anexploratory qualitative research processbased on design science, that expands the current theoretical foundations of IT project management by providing insights into the positive, appropriate, and negative aspects of complexity, and supports practice with newly designedtools for the analysis and management of complexityandresponse strategy planning, based on complexity sources and effects.The design and validation were performed with semi-structured interviews with experts, based on actual complex IT project cases
