Companies are faced with rising product and process complexity when they increase product diversity, introduce new technology, or establish partnerships for development in order to be more competitive. Complexity, if not well managed, is a drag on new product development (NPD) performance and can lead to project failure. Although companies strive to improve productivity, increasing complexity is rarely taken into account in productivity management. Complexity arises from numerous elements and their multitude of relationships, such as between the components of the product being developed, between the activities to develop them, and among the partners and people doing the activities.

当公司为了更具竞争力而增加产品多样性、引入新技术或建立发展合作伙伴关系时，它们面临着日益增长的产品和工艺复杂性。如果管理不好，复杂性会拖累新产品开发(NPD)的绩效，并可能导致项目失败。尽管公司努力提高生产率，但生产率管理很少考虑日益增加的复杂性。复杂性源于众多元素及其众多关系，例如正在开发的产品组件之间、开发这些组件的活动之间以及合作伙伴和从事这些活动的人员之间。
