Abstract

Complexity is a catch-all term that is used throughout the construction industry. When complexity is poorly understood and managed project failure and uncertainty become the norm. This research report details how Research Team (RT) 305 worked to defin

Key Findings

RT-305 developed management strategies to address each of the 37 complexity indicators. The management strategies help project teams using the PCAM Tool implement strategies and methods to reduce the likelihood that the associated complexity attributes will cause poor project performance. The details of project complexity management strategies can be found in the research report (RR305-11).
