Dealing With Complexity.

2009 
Across all industries, large projects have a higher risk of failure than small projects. Their sheer size is a major contributing factor to their internal complexity, causing also infrastructure and communication to become more complex. With many factors combined and interrelated, smaller disturbing effects get out of control and the project refuses to be manageable. At the same time, complex systems are the natural friends of highly qualified engineers. If the problem at hand was trivial, it would not require experts to solve it. The latest project is typically more complex than the ones we have already completed.
