Description
Summary:Project Management practice leverage concepts and models that try to maximize assessment accuracy with regards to effort and resource consumption. A central aspect is analysis of project complexity. The higher the complexity, the higher the cost and resource usage and risk. In this article, we define project complexity classes and propose models for estimating those. Key factors that drive complexity have the utmost importance. Ultimately, guidelines on translating project complexity into cost and duration estimation are established.
