CONNECTION OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND COMPLICATION

        It was made necessary to study the area of complication and PM separately due to the lack of studies available on handling complicated projects. Standards of project management have been prevalent for more than forty years. With the establishment of standards, project managers didn’t have the assistance of computers and the whole world was not connected globally via the internet. Projects, in the past, had different impacts and requirements and those requirements formed the basis of standards. In addition to it, projects were created on the basis of the immediate and internal environment while lacking an international perspective. And they focused more on internal influences rather than external influences.

        The issues of an interlinked world are usually referred to as complicated. It is shown by literature that the absence of information regarding complication enablers causes management to be confused and projects to be complicated. Complication, in the literature, is explained from a general point of view and is also not focused on PM.

        How is it possible for a non-standardizable complication to fit into project management which is standardizable management? Both are significant to be investigated.

        At present, projects are more challenging and ambiguous in comparison with projects during the past years. Different facts like turnover must be recognized and projects must be forced to be more efficient. A result is more effective utilization of resources and decrease in the duration through task parallelization.

        Ever since project management has been introduced, knowledge in the field has only developed. Some other scientific and technical areas including materials, machinery, and IT have also developed. The project might be influenced by them. Existing knowledge should be incorporated and implemented in the project. This is a management task. Management faces a challenge of keeping knowledge in projects updated with the newest innovations. An end doesn’t come for this process and it is consistent.

        For instance, an aircraft wing’s development is selected. In the start of the twentieth century, the wing was quite simple and made up of wood. Principally, streaming affecting flaps were developed; different shapes were also discovered. At present, wing is a complex part of aircraft. It has a certain aerodynamic form which fits aircraft. Different materials are utilized such as carbon, aluminium, and plastics for increasing stability and reducing weight. In addition, further procedures of handling are important for applying them together. It increases complication in products and projects.

        This scientific information must be brought together. This is a management task. The present methodology of project management might not serve to satisfy the present necessities. Are current standards considering complications effectively?

The top aim of PM is the predictability of the results of projects and reliable reproducibility of different projects. An increment in complication restricts reliable project planning. The current status of complications should be consistently considered by management. Management must be checked and supplemented with extra tools for identifying and overcoming complications if necessary.

This study is actually carried out with the aim of combining standardized PM with a non-standardizable complication for arriving at a sensible decision.
