ABSTRACT

Engineering projects manage different processes to achieve the project goal. The more complex the engineering projects are, the more workloads the projects have to deal with. However, the evidences show that complexity not only brings costs and wastes, the complexity can make profits and increase competitive forces. The engineering projects should focus on how to manage the complexity, not avoid them. The paper proposes the complexity -value matrix which includes two indicators, complexity and value of the engineering projects, to manage the whole processes of the projects
