Traditional project management approaches assume that project
contexts are unchanging and key factors, though complicated, are
reducible to unambiguous elements for management and control.
Whilst this assumption has simplified the task for writers and
educators, it is increasingly being recognised that these
techniques do not work in projects which may be described as
complex (due to their size, technical difficulties, conflicting
environmental and political constraints or poorly understood or
shared goals). Tools for Complex Projects draws on research in the
areas of project management, complexity theory and systems thinking
to provide a ready reference for understanding and managing the
increasing complexity of projects and programmes. The main part of
the book provides a series of fourteen project tools. Some of these
tools may be used at the level of the whole project life-cycle.
Others may be applied ad hoc at any time. In each case, the authors
provide: detailed guidelines for using the tool, information on its
purpose and the types of complexity for which it is most
appropriate, the theoretical background to the tool, a practical
example of its use, and any necessary words of caution. This is an
example of advanced project management at work; sophisticated tools
that require a level of project and management expertise and offer
rigorous and highly practical methods for understanding,
structuring and managing the most complex of projects.
