A Practical Assessment of Modern IT Project Complexity Management Tools

Complexity is ubiquitous in modern engineering and project management. It traditionally associated with failure. Also, complexity works! delivers functionality, creativity, innovation. management contributes to the success of high-risk IT projects, helps better understanding, allows for prioritization planning resources. Managing negative reduces risk. Positive appropriate are catalysts opportunities. This paper a qualitative longitudinal study based on multiple industry cases, consisting repeated evaluation set tools. The tools were deployed classical process framework: plan, identify, analyze, plan responses, monitor, control. evaluated red-flag measure complexity, analyze its sources effects, mitigation strategies. aims provide managers methods increasing rates reducing failure complex environments.
