''Similarly with the [[Variety (cybernetics)#Law of requisite variety|Law of requisite variety]] and [[Complexity#The law of requisite complexity|The law of requisite complexity]], project complexity is sometimes required in order for the project to reach its objectives, and sometimes it has beneficial outcomes. Based on the effects of complexity, Stefan Morcov proposed its classification as Positive, Appropriate, or Negative.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Morcov|first1=Stefan|last2=Pintelon|first2=Liliane|last3=Kusters|first3=Rob J.|date=2020|title=IT Project Complexity Management Based on Sources and Effects: Positive, Appropriate and Negative|journal=Proceedings of the Romanian Academy - Series A|language=en|volume=21|issue=4|pages=329–336|url=https://acad.ro/sectii2002/proceedings/doc2020-4/05-Morcov.pdf}}</ref><ref name="Morcov2021" />''

* '''''Positive complexity''' is the complexity that adds value to the project, and whose contribution to project success outweighs the associated negative consequences.''
* '''''Appropriate (or requisite) complexity''' is the complexity that is needed for the project to reach its objectives, or whose contribution to project success balances the negative effects, or the cost of mitigation outweighs negative manifestations.''
* '''''Negative complexity''' is the complexity that hinders project success.''
