Managing complex projects
Conventional project management techniques are unsuited to complex projects that behave dynamically and often contain considerable rework. PA has distilled its practical complex projects experience and some of the latest academic work in the field of complexity into innovative, practical support and guidance for companies faced with challenging complex project issues and undertakings.
PA's project management techniques can reduce project rework and consequent delay and disruption by as much as 30% to 50% - which will often make the difference between a profitable project and a failure.
Our experience has been developed in over 300 of the world's most complex projects. PA's responsive approach has delivered innovative advice and tangible value on many of the leading business and IT programs, shipbuilding and aerospace programs, complex communications and control system developments, transport infrastructure and many others.

PA can help reduce complex project management rework by mapping the complexity of any project across a two dimensional space, as shown in the diagram below. Click on the diagram or on the links on the right to find out more about managing each of these degrees of complexity.
