Literature Review-Leading complex projects to successful end state
Project complexity
Hill and Bartol (2016) stated that most of the projects are difficult and complex due to
budget constraints, schedule as well as performance issues. The complex projects are unique as
they are characterized by degree of uncertainty. Serrat (2017) argued that the complex projects
have high level of uncertainty as well as unfamiliar dependencies. A comprehensive literature
study will review on changing roles of the project management to manage the complex projects
which is theoretical foundation of this paper. The business process is complex due to
interdependent in addition to consistent than ever former than. Across the project lifecycle, the
teams are being interconnected as well as integrated based on the project success. The project
focused work is considered as time sensitive. When a project is complex, then roles as well as
responsibilities are also complex. The complex projects are unpredictable, while the project
complexity is at higher risk and complicated. The factors which are considered as project
complexity are out of control such as technology, financial as well as social issues. Matinheikki
et al. (2016) mentioned that the complexity is result of new technology which is changing faster
than pace of project work. The scope of this project work is setting the management along with
external factors which can influence the objectives plus strategies. According to Camilleri
(2016), budget and time are contributing factors to the project complexity. In most of the cases,
the organization which treats the cost as priority can lead to unnecessary project complexities.
Managing project complexity
The project manager is required to focus on development of a project in order to step the
complexities that 21st century project will demand. Maduka et al. (2018) discussed that the
