Information is being gathered by the ICCPM SIG, Managing Risk in Complexity, to inform efforts to develop support for projects facing complexity in their work. It will take only a few minutes to respond to the survey.

Question Title

* Please describe, briefly, an experience you have had with complexity associated with a project. It is not necessary to identify the project or organisation involved. It might relate to a whole project or a part of one.

In two questions below, please choose the letter on the triangles that best represents the balance between the factors noted on the corners in relation to your story.

An illustrative example is shown first.

In the illustration below, a response of G might represent a weekend or holiday.

A response of H might represent a long day under pressure to get a big job completed.
