RESEARCH QUESTIONS

        It is shown by literature that project management in the past was carried out in a simpler way in than how it is performed at present. Projects, at present, are developed in a difficult environment and are impacted by the changing factors.

        In the literature, those change factors were evaluated that addressed complications. Moreover, management, impact, and origin of complication were studied.

        Actually, it is important now to study how complications can be handled properly. Can complication projects still be handled with traditional PM? Does integration of an actual standard of PM and managing complication exist? In case there is no combination, can an alternative solution be developed for manoeuvring securely through complications? The negative aspects and influences in handling complication have to be explained for providing an awareness of complications. To help amateur inexperienced managers, new issues have to be explored and shown.

            Basic principles are developed for enabling project managers to determine and recognize how complications could influence projects. Complication indicators are outlined and specific styles of management for manoeuvring through complicated situations. In the last stage, the adaption of the existing management of the project was studied.

The literature review served to identify the research’s five levels. Through interviewing experienced managers of the project, it was attempted to answer the research questions.

Research field A

Question: How is the execution of PM influenced by complication (theory)?

        Complications are often discussed by project managers in projects. The location and type of complication are demonstrated by this research. The demonstration guide is a chosen standard of project management.

        The objective is all about examining cognition of effect of complication theory on visualization, treatment, and appearance of the most suitable standard of project management (chosen on the basis of distribution and norms of use, available, and membership criteria).

Research field B

Question: What are the complication enablers in project management?

        There are some minor complications in the project management and this literature is mentioning some important difficulties in the process.         This is because there are a lot of complications along with different difficulties. Moreover, the main link to project management is unable to be found. It can be seen that there are some expert managers that have the ability to estimate enablers with the help of their experience. But on the other hand, the beginner project managers are unable to estimate it due to lack of experience. They have to depend on the expert project managers to estimate enablers of complication.

        The real target is to make a link between project management and complication, and then according to this link, they have to provide dealing options. These project managers are involved in questions related to complication enablers in project management and then evaluate it with researchers.

Research field C

Question: How does project management deal with a complication?

        It is extremely difficult for the project manager to deal with such complications. According to standard project management, there are different processes involved in the assignment of a single enabler. Through this, it will become extremely easy to outline the weakness of each process inside the project management standards. All of these are generated in the form of cluster.

The main aim is to demonstrate and connect these difficulties in a simple model. But there is one problem, there is non-predictability in the project management processes and their processes become slower. Then after this, the proper model is developed with the help of evaluated inputs from different participants, using this, project managers are able to locate difficulty in the project and are able to estimate the influence. The expert project managers are able to predict the possible complication in the project.

Research field D

Question: What is the scope for possible modifications in the chosen PM standard for managing complication?

        The main scope of the work is that according to the basic standards of project management, how project complication is managed easily without any difficulty. Also, identify new methods for managing these important complications of project management. It can be seen that these new methods are extracted from the management literature of complication. These methods are applied by different project managers in completing their projects. But the problem is that these methods are not mentioned in the project management standard and also not in the literature for complication.

        According to this problem, the target is to enable the proper account of the methods for the treatment of complication in the selected project management standard and then according to that, explain their applications in practice. 

Research field E

Question: Are there additional methods to those mentioned in the chosen PM standard for the management of complication?

        There are some statements in the literature of complication that are not correct so it is extremely difficult to judge whether project management standards are satisfied or not. The project managers are involved in explaining their viewpoint in detail for the adoption of current standards of project management. But according to the proposed outcome of the project, there is no modification in the project management standard.

        The main aim is to create a more manageable framework for resolving the complication that is present in the selected Project management standard
