In the 11/16 meeting, we touched briefly on the affect of project complexity on project tasks. Specifically, we discussed the affect of project task catalogue on the roles. We agreed that, in general, the more complex a project is, the more tasks will be needed to complete it (i.e., for effective governance and communication) and therefore the more roles will be required to fulfill the tasks.

Assume:

FOR THIS DISCUSSION, assume:

1. Development/Configuration projects. (i.e., not facilities, hardware rollout, VOIP, etc.)
2. "Project Complexity" is not an effective measure of project cost.
3. Software development process exists; i.e., this complexity study falls within any project development life cycle.
4. The task is not the role. Roles may be served by the same person, or several different people."Project Complexity" is not an effective measure of project cost
5. Everyone owns the product. The common goal is the client-identified benefit to completing the task.

Factors which increase project complexity

...

The more development hours, the more management will be needed to track and support those hours.
