Evaluation of the Complexity of Research Projects by Multi-Criteral Decision Methodologies

The complexity of the projects is in constant ascent thus be understood, analyzed and measured as well using modern project management. The major objective of this article is to define a measure of the complexity of the projects in order to be used in decision-making, especially when looking at a portfolio with several projects, or when studying different parts of a project. The purpose of this paper is to identify the relative factors relative to the four sizes, which are representative of the construction of the complexity framework of a project, and to identify the multiple criteria in the multi-criterion decision-making methodology for assessing the complexity of the project. These tools will allow for a relative measure of the complexity of the project, which may be part of the decision-making process.
