复杂性是项目管理界的一个重要概念。本文探讨了复杂性评估对评估项目关键管理挑战的价值。通过对某大型设备工程公司七个项目的多案例研究，将复杂性评估的结果与丰富的项目定性数据进行了比较和对比。结果表明，如果谨慎使用，复杂性评估可以发现项目的重大挑战。它还表明，复杂性部分是固有的，部分是（自我）诱导的，因此管理者和公司不应将复杂性视为给定的，而应视为可协商的，并在整个项目过程中积极参与复杂性的塑造。对复杂性的评估本身就是一种能够进行这种积极管理的工具。
Complexity is an eminent concept in the project management community. This paper explores the value of complexity assessment to evaluate key management challenges of projects. It compares and contrasts the results of complexity assessments with rich qualitative data about projects through a multi-case study conducted with seven projects in a large plant engineering company. The results suggest that, if used with caution, complexity assessment can uncover significant challenges of projects. It also showed that complexities are partly inherent and partly (self-) induced, and therefore managers and companies should consider complexity not as given but as negotiable, and actively engage on the shaping of complexity throughout the project. The assessment of complexity itself is a tool to enable such active management.
