Complex Projects Significance in a Society
1 Introduction
Technological advancements have enhanced the productivity and perfection associated with different projects of a company. The prime purpose behind the initiation of every project is to earn the maximum profit by exhausting the minimum resources. A project is not the name of a single activity or department but is associated with several activities and engages different departments until completion. Project success and failures are associated with project management techniques. The more intelligent the methods are, the brighter chances there are for the ensured success of a project.
Complex projects are large-scale initiatives that involve the coordination and integration of multiple stakeholders, disciplines, and technologies to achieve specific goals or objectives. They are a common feature of modern society and play a crucial role in addressing some of the most pressing challenges facing communities and organizations (Poveda-Bautista et al., 2018). However, despite their importance, complex projects also present several challenges and are prone to failure.
This assessment will focus on the significance of complex projects and their role in society. Also, the challenges associated with tricky tasks will be discussed in this assessment. Furthermore, the part of the culture in complex projects and project delivery will be discussed here.
2 Literature Review
Complex projects are characterized by uncertainty, interdependence, and diversity, making them difficult to manage and control. Also, multiple stakeholders with diverse interests, objectives, and expectations are considered key factors contributing to the complexity of complex projects (Kerzner & Zwikael, 2017).

(San Cristóbal et al., 2018)
The model presented above manifests the complexity of projects concerning different factors. The project complexity is broadly categorized into two structural complexity and uncertainty. If the size and timeline of the project get more prolonged than expected, it may result in project complexity. William presented the model for defining the project complexity and providing guidelines to the project managers to reduce the extent of project complications. Complex projects are like usual projects.
Complex projects have a lot of stakeholders, and every stakeholder has their concerns. It is practically impossible for a project manager to cater to every stakeholder's needs and requirements of every stakeholder. The goals and objectives of complex projects need to be well-defined for stakeholder satisfaction and the successful completion of the project. Since this is the age of the latest technological tools, efficient project managers employ the latest technological tools for completing complex projects. Several tools like work breakdown structures, team activities, and Gantt charts.
If the project objectives and goals are not well-defined and the stakeholders face specific issues while collaborating, it may increase the extent of project compli...
