Abstract:
Complexity has become a defining characteristic of modern projects, yet many project managers still struggle to assess it in a structured and credible way. This session introduces 15 research-based dimensions of project complexity and a free, practical assessment tool that helps project leaders quickly evaluate complexity and make it visible.
Participants will learn how to interpret radar-style visualizations to uncover hidden challenges, strengthen planning, and support better decision-making. The session includes a live walkthrough demonstrating how the assessment can be completed in minutes and immediately applied to real projects.
Whether you are leading a straightforward internal initiative or a highly complex, multi-stakeholder program, this session provides practical insights to improve outcomes through clearer complexity awareness and communication.
