Abstract
Enormous Transport Infrastructure Development Projects with expanding intricacies are being established at an increasing ratio in the developing countries. Project management is becoming complicated because of its bulkier Projects in term of duration and cost but also due to large number of stakeholders involved. In this respect, Project management is becoming increasing complex not only because of Projects are becoming larger in term of duration and cost but also due to large number of stakeholders involved. The purpose of this research is to identify the factors associated with project complexity in Transport Infrastructure development projects. This research is exploratory and employed quantitative paradigm to answer the research question.
Findings of this research show that five factors are associated with project complexity in Transport Infrastructure Development Projects which are: Ambiguity in initial phases, Interdependence among process, Context, Diversity in background and large size. The research limitation is that this research employed the quantitative research strategy. This strategy yield data with greater latitude but not in profundity. Therefore, this research did not implement in-depth exploratory techniques associated with qualitative research paradigm. Furthermore, the cross-section of the respondents represent only Transport Infrastructure Development Projects, the sample does not cover all the possible sectors which could have complex projects (Engineering, IT, Supply chain etc.…). However, further investigation is required for other complex sectors.
