Acknowledgement
I am very much glad and fortunate to work on such an interesting topic and I am sure that it is
one of the most enriching experience of my life. I have faced challenges like resource
management while doing this research. However, I was very much fortunate to be able to
resolve my issue with the help of my supervisor _ Please fill __ for the constant guidance. I
would love to thank my family and friends who have helped me to do this research in an
organized manner. Without the support of all these peoples this research pap would not have
completed.

Executive Summary
There are diverse categories of challenges which ate directly associated with the most of the
software development projects such as managing the time required in each phase of the
project and managing the cost required for each of the resources who are involved in the
project. This research paper shall set out an overview of the complexities which are faced in
the software projects and the role of the complexity of the projects. The paper shall be having
numerous units and each unit will be very much beneficial to maintain the reliability of the
research. Data which will be collected for this research shall be analyzed from different
perceptions.

ROLE OF COMPLEXITY OF PROJECT AND TEAM COMPOSITION

1. Introduction
The successful completion of a project depends upon diverse categories of factors
such as the ability of the facility manager as well as the project manager to address the
complexities of the project such as cost management and time management. There are diverse
categories of complexities which are associated with software development projects as well
such as maintaining the quality of the products and the services or maintaining the safety of
the project team members in an adverse situation (Wu et al. 2016). Experience and the
qualifications of each of the project team members is very much essential to manage or deal
with the complexities of a project (Christensen and Limbach 2019). The selection of
resources is also one of the most significant success criteria of a complex software
development project.
Some of the complexities of a project are depended on the inter relationships with
some aspect of the project. Every project requires a wide variety of project team members so
that they can address most of the complications and the complexities which arrives on the
way (Woodside 2015). Strong influence of the project team members is very much required
to identify the most significant problems which are associated with complex projects.
This research is just the beginning of a thesis and will highlight each sections in an
organized manner. This research paper shall be having different sections and each of the
section will be very much useful to understand the effectiveness. This paper shall be having
literature review where ideas and concepts of reputed scholars will be considered. Papers
shall be selected from reputed and reliable source like Google Scholar. This research paper
shall also have a literature gap where gaps of each literature will be identified. This paper
shall also have a methodology section where the details of the data collection and data
analysis will be mentioned. The sampling technique of this research shall also be considered

along findings of the data collection procedure. This research shall also have conclusions and
recommendations which will help to enhance the quality of this research paper. The ensuing
unit of this research paper is literature review where new journals will be considered to
analyze the selected topic of this research.
2. Literature Review
2.1 Delays in software projects
According to Wolfson and Mathieu (2017), there are diverse categories phases
associated with the development of a new software such as the planning phase, development
phase, testing phase and enactment phase. Each of these phases takes a considerable amount
of time, the role of each of the stakeholders is very much significant for the successful
completion of a software development project.
However, as mentioned by Watson (2015), there are diverse causes behind the delay
in a software development project in terms of the delay in documentation and delay in the
identification of the appropriate stakeholders required in the project. The paper suggested that
reasons like identification of the functional and the non-functional requirements is the other
reason behind the delay in software development project. Apart from this this journal
indicated that understanding the expectations of the consumers of these project can be one of
the other significant reason behind the delayed schedule in a software development project.
The paper highlighted that decision making is one of the other reason behind delayed
schedule in a software development project (Chen 2015). The investigators indicated that
adapting with new technologies is a huge challenge for each of the programmers who works
in a software development project. Addressing these challenge might take longer time than
expected which is again one of the prime factors behind the delays in software development
