In what way complication (theory) influences the execution of project
management (PM)?
The targets of researchers examine the complication theory’s influence
on the treatment of appearance along with the visualization. It is the most
appropriate standard of the project management and it is selected for
membership criteria, norms, availability, and the use of distributions.
The standards of the project management are analyzed worldwide,
according to the objectives and the process where facts like distributed
memberships and countries are available. In different phases of project
management, comparison of the process along with the areas is investigated, and
it must be viewed for interoperations of the subjective. In the research, this
comparison is listed, and its facts are based on that comparison, which is
consulted for various sections of the most PM appropriate standards. The most
famous worldwide standards, like the CMMI, PMI, P2M, NCSPM, and the PMSGB are
compared with the extended range. In the field of the project management, the
PMI is the most useful standard according to 520,000 members who are adhering
to the general ISO norms, with the ISO, and the ISO of 21500. They offer
various standards in different languages like Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, French,
and German which are established for longer than 40 years. It is the basis of
the research, and in the interviews, it is the most vulnerable process which
explained the scope, collects the requirements, managed the stakeholder, and it
is the least vulnerable process in terms of complications in the field of the
project management. Planning is influenced the most by complication and it is
interlinked with the lifecycle of projects.
In the projects, through the complications, the less influence is on the
initial and final stage. There is the following research question which is
discussed the impacts. For the recognition of the complicated situations in the
field of the projects management, various processes are examined, by the WBS,
mind map, and analysis of the stakeholder.
RESEARCH FIELD B
In project management, what are the complication enablers?
The target of the research is to determine complication enablers in the
field of the project management from the evaluation and literature which are
used in the practice of an expert.
For the complication, enablers are examined first in the literature,
then the literature is further skimmed for a complication, and it is also
investigated for the first time by PM experts in the interview. The enablers
are proved to have an effect on project management. It has actually been
determined that when communication is needed, it becomes vulnerable to
complication. From the interviews, the findings are investigated, which are
further scrutinized by the PM in the discussion of the interviews. The enablers
are confirmed by the participants.
In the literature and the interviews, there are five complications
enablers which are uniformly named;
RESEARCH FIELD C
How is complication handled by
project management?
The target of the research was all about demonstrating and evaluating
the connection between sensitive processes and complication enablers in the
management of the project.
The relation among complication enablers and affected processes were
studied in detail. Projects of participants and sensitive processes in the
management of projects were interrelated in the analysis.
On the basis of analysis, categorization of vulnerable processes and
enablers in projects relative to the degree and size of complication in several
different industrial fields was created. For the first time, such a thing was
created, oriented on the individual process steps of the chosen standard of
PMI. However, it is possible to seemingly project form a restricted view of PMP
standard onto a wider view on international standards because processes are
similar in all standards. But generalization will depend on the interpretation
of manager nonetheless. Certainly, the chosen foundation for this study is
present in different nations and languages but it doesn't assure the same
meaning. Still, this offers an indication of how complication enablers can
influence an individual process in PM. Project managers are capable of orientating
themselves where they must focus on projects about difficulties and
complications.
RESEARCH FIELD D
In the selected standard of PM for complication management, what is the
scope for modifications?
The target of the research was all about generating an account of
techniques for complication management in the selected standard of PM and their
implementation in practice.
Before analyzing the techniques of managing complications, it is
important for managers to understand which strategy should be applied by them
to a project: not just control, manage, reduce, or eliminate.
A significant rule is all about remaining flexible. Results and
literature from the interview indicate that complications are managed the best
by controlling or reducing complications. Therefore, advantages are gained by
project managers through controlling and managing complication.
Already indicated in the standard of PM, communication management,
requirement analysis, stakeholder analysis, and WBS seem to support the
management of complications. Brainstorming was suggested by participants with
the application of scenario techniques and mind maps in a project’s complicated
situations. Generally, moderating techniques were named by them as well for
complication management.
This target of research can be checked and confirmed. Techniques for
complication management in a standard of PM are outlined from a real or
practical perspective. New methods were not identified by participants that
were utilized in their practice. However, it was stated by some participants
that it would be helpful to have a different guide offering guidelines for
complication management. Especially, it would support project managers who are
inexperienced. Incorporation into the present standard of PM rejected as it is
not possible to standardize complications.
An effective complicated project doesn't only concentrate on
individually or standardized methods. It was concluded by all authors that
personal capabilities are the most significant for the management of complications
(Hass, 2009; Project Management Institute, 2014). Interviews also partly confirmed
it. However, this shouldn't be limited to the only project manager but the
project team must be recognized as for improving their personal capabilities.
And it can be reflected in a project team and learning organization. Five
disciplines were defined by Senge that are significant requirements for
improving an organization that focuses on learning: system thinking, team
learning, shared vision, mental models, and personal mastery (Senge, 1997). In
the management of complications, these individual disciplines can also be
helpful. The members of the team have a broad mind towards new techniques and
would not stop to obtain new information. They create a vision together and
will follow it because it was created by all members of the team. Thus,
intuition is developed by them for a broader overview and would not stop at
system borders.
RESEARCH FIELD E
In the chosen standard of PM, are there further techniques to the ones already
mentioned for complication management?
The target of the study was all about creating a framework that is more
manageable for complication management in the selected standard of PM through
modification.
In the original standard of PMI, complication management is
satisfactorily evaluated by the interview. But modifications in the present
standard were proposed by participants that involved developing a new chapter
separately managing complication. The recent literature didn't confirm it.
Inside the standards of PM, additional advisories might cause confusion which
could complicate the standard. It has been argued as well that it is not
possible to standardize complication (Hass, 2009). It has been described in the
standard and not in the methodology. Interviews showed the general necessity of
more support in the management of complications.
Proposal of participants is a solution to this problem. The development
of another guide on managing complications was suggested by them. The recent
study by and PMI must be incorporated here since it describes theories for
managing complications. But missing parts would be the identification and
acknowledgment of complications and must be incorporated into the new guide.
Moreover, an overall guide would only provide directions on where to
concentrate and how complications should be handled. It would handle the
overall process from complication recognition, complication identification,
possible methods of handling, and also an assessment of checking progress
