We often try to bypass the uncertainties we encounter in our work as managers.

However, in this presentation I would suggest to you that by using simple principles from complexity thinking you might be managing uncertain contexts and decisions much better.

In the presentation Eitan Reich (LinkedIn profile) will describe how exactly complex, dynamic situations are different from simple and even complicated ones.

Also learn about key principles of complexity thinking that would be useful in your change projects and for your decision making, planning and managing processes.

Underperformance is a common threat to megaproject managers and the track record of cost and time overruns in these projects is well documented.

While front end planning is important, not all events and scenarios can be foreseen when the project can take several years to complete and may involve many companies and stakeholders.

In our research we find that the capacity to adapt to this uncertainty during the life of the project is crucial for megaproject performance but it is often overlooked as a capability. Using a case study of the construction of a US$20 billion dollar project we show that project leaders play an important role in recognizing when a plan needs to change and then navigating the path onto a new project plan without disrupting the delivery of the project.

Project Managers will continue to play a vital role in the new Agile world. At the Enterprise Level there will always be a need for Governance and the larger the organisation, the more focus there will be in managing risks.

Project Managers are also the link between the business initiatives, implemented as projects, and the development team, in most cases using the widely adopted Scrum Framework to deliver technology components that will support the implementation of the business initiatives.

The Practice Standard for Project Risk Management is a useful framework for Project managers to implement good practices at the project level that can minimize the negative impacts of threats to its projects and maximize the upside impact of opportunities.

By becoming Agile the risk profile changes and it is obvious that the Scrum Team must be involved in the Risk Management activities.

In this webinar Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile) analyzes the role of the Project Manager in bridging the gap between the (Scrum) team approach to Risk Management and the structured approach at the enterprise level.

Learning objectives:

• Defining the features and the external and internal environmental factors of a complex and strategic project,
• Developing a systematic and formalized multi-criteria decision-making process based on strategic risk analysis in a complex project environment,
• Identifying and analyzing project risks throughout the project life-cycle in parallel with the project management

A complex project may have a very long and multiple phased life-cycle, a large number of stakeholders within a complex organizational plan, a complex resource management, technical complexities, contractual complexities and macro-environmental factors.

On the other hand, complex projects signify a strategic importance for the project stakeholders in terms of their business strategy, brand image, financial and economic opportunities.

Managing a complex and strategic project requires, in its life-cycle, a specific organization and a specific approach in order to reach the project objectives in terms of cost, time and project performance.

The complexity of a project leads to the existence of interdependent risks, hard to anticipate and keep under control. For complex and strategic projects, it is necessary to identify and assess all the potential risks and opportunities through the whole project life-cycle, and develop action plans to mitigate, eliminate or transfer negative risks.

However, in the early phases of a project, it is difficult to identify and assess project risks. While front end planning is important, not all events and scenarios can be foreseen when the project can take several years to complete and may involve many companies and stakeholders.

In this stage of the project, a strategic and environmental analysis is indispensable for identifying and analyzing the major risk factors for taking a strategic decision about the project. In this study, a formalized Multi-criteria decision making process is developed based on a strategic risk analysis in complex environment.

The external and internal environmental risk and opportunity factors are analyzed in a systematic approach in order to take a strategic decision at three key-steps of the project:

1. At a very early stage and at a strategic level, to consider the opportunity of affecting some resources to a given (possible) project,
2. Later, when they need to decide, after preliminary studies, if it will effectively consider the project and mobilize its engineers for detailed studies,
3. Before the contracting phase in order to develop risk allocation plan and negotiate it with the project customer.
