This chapter discusses structuring for managing complexity. In a software development project, complexity may be intrinsic to the problem to solve, but is also generated by the development process itself: the project organization, the tools supporting the development and their cooperation, the data manipulated by the developers, the number of elementary tasks the developers have to carry out, all participate in the global complexity of a project.
