Cyclomatic Complexity in C#

Cyclomatic complexity remains a practical signal for CIOs because it correlates directly with delivery risk: the more branching in a method, the harder it is to test, maintain, and change safely. For IT organizations, this means highly complex C# code can increase defect rates, slow release velocity, and raise the cost of future modernization unless it is actively managed with code quality gates and better test coverage. The article reinforces that complexity should be treated as a governance metric, not just a developer concern, especially in .NET environments where tools can flag risky code before it reaches production.
