Complex or Complicated? Why It Matters, and What Can We Do About It
Date: September 15, 2022
Time: 3 PM EDT

Speaker: Dr. Leon Herszon
This presentation will cover the difference between complex and complicated and how it relates to projects. We will then understand how complexity can impact projects, with emphasis on the estimation process and connection with the triple constraint. Participants will have a chance to provide input through a live survey, and then view a proposed approach to deal with project complexity. Finally, participants will have access to a free web-based complexity model.
