Excerpt:
There appears to be a positive correlation between project success and the capacity of the executive sponsor and other key project leaders to recognise complexity and support the project manager and project team in managing the complexity (Helm and Remington, 2005; Crawford et al., 2006). There is also generally agreement amongst experienced project leaders that if you can get as many key players recognising that the project or programme is more than just complicated or challenging, the better the chance of achieving desired outcomes. This was a strong point of agreement amongst leaders of complex projects at all levels. It was one that was brought up again and again, particularly when discussing projects that had gone wrong. The act of early recognition by key players that the project is likely to be complex has the beneficial effect of alerting decision-makers to the need for special consideration, and hopefully also of engaging them in constructive problem-solving.

The early phase of that programme, the requirements, was a very good example of a few people really grasping the complexity issue. Interview 63.

As the project director of a very successful international defence project observed, experienced project leaders often know in advance when a project is likely to be extraordinarily challenging. On the other hand, others associated with the project might not have the same level of experience, either with complexity, or projects, or both. Tools to help identify and assess the level of complexity are very useful, especially if they also engage key decision-makers in ownership of the complexity through recognition and comprehension.
