1ASPECTS OF COMPLEXITY: MANAGING PROJECTS IN A COMPLEX WORLDQ1The views of Shermon on parametrics is that it is the best methodology to estimate abudget. Hundreds of CER models are used in parametrics models to facilititate in estimating thebudgets. The model is highly unbiased and it is just a representation of the facts that can be usedto predict the future. Parametrics model is essentially a tool to set the budgets for a complexproject and set the schedules in a realistic way. This being a top-down methodology, nothing isleft out.To apply this model in the Australian Public Service projects could facilitate a lot interms of planning for the projects properly. Public projects have a huge amount of work to bedone and to maintain the time schedule for the same is difficult thing to keep. A top-downmethodology like this one can benefit the government and the project completion as well.ReferencesBaccarini, D. (1996). The concept of project complexity—A review.International Journal of Project Management, 14,201–204.Cooke-Davies, T 2011,Aspects of Complexity: Managing Projects in a Complex World,Project Management Institute,Q2Bad experiences can in many occasions send the wrong messages and can be counter-productive. If the experiences that an individual goes through is not providing with the rightanswers and rather is hindering possibilities of future growth, then there is no advantage of that

2ASPECTS OF COMPLEXITY: MANAGING PROJECTS IN A COMPLEX WORLDexperience. Despite this, the learner also has to be self-aware so that the experience can beinternalized and utilized to the fullest.A project manager has to look into many different aspects of a work so that it is workedon properly and completed as per the specifications. While working on any project, the mangeracquires many experiences that help in the future growth of the person by providing insights andknowledge as to how can similar work can be done with efficiency. However, if the project doesnot give the manager a good experience or rather is misleading in terms of knowledge, then itcan be harmful in helping the person to learn anything at all, and even if the person does learnsomething, it will be flawed.ReferencesCooke-Davies, T 2011,Aspects of Complexity: Managing Projects in a Complex World,Project Management Institute,Udo, N & Koppensteiner, S 2004, ‘What are the core competencies of a successful project manager?’,PMI Global Congress 2004,New Square.Q3Deliberate deception is a critical thing that needs to be avoided to ensure that a person isnot learning something that is untrue. To overcome this one must be receptive and be open tolearn things that may be not in accordance of the person’s own beliefs. Facts should be changingbeliefs and not the other way around.In one of the projects that I had worked on, the project manager was rigid in his stanceand did not accept the facts despite those being evident and fitting for the purpose of the projects.
