Multidisciplinary project teams can lead to more innovative solutions and a better understanding of the project's complexities by providing a wider range of perspectives, skills, and experiences. This is particularly useful for projects that need to take a comprehensive approach and integrate multiple disciplines, such as design, engineering, marketing, and technology. By combining these different skill sets, a team can tackle complex problems more effectively and deliver a more comprehensive solution.
 
  
One of the major sources of project complexity is human behavior. It can increase the complexity of a project by introducing factors of subjectivity, different cultural or professional backgrounds or attitudes.  This makes project leadership a complex and challenging task that requires a combination of technical and interpersonal skills. This leadership is not tied to the project manager alone, as successful projects feature various team members who demonstrate leadership skills. <ref name="PMIGuide"> Project Management Institute, Inc.
