The Project Landscape (Chapter 1)

It is not sufficient to simply say that complex projects are filled with uncertainty, risk, and unexpected change. That does not give a senior manager anything concrete to help them support such projects. In order to act intelligently senior managers need some structure that defines complex projects and stipulates strategies for dealing with different types of complex projects. The purpose of Chapter 1 is to define a simple but intuitive project classification scheme that can be used as an infrastructure to organize and discuss senior manager support strategies.
