Covered will be sins such as:

• gluttony
• sloth

Complex projects can be a web of inter-connected yet separate projects and project leaders must know how to untangle that web.

The failure of complex projects usually results when a leader loses sight of the big picture and is unable to manage all of the independent pieces and sub-projects.

Successful leaders of complex projects know that you need to think and act differently in these situations than when you manage a single, simple project.

During this presentation you’ll learn:

• How to assess project complexity
• Why you need a different management approach
• Key tips for successfully managing a complex project
