Successful Projects

06/19/05 | by Clarise Z. Doval Santos [mail] | Categories: Project Management

In my years of project management, I have noted key factors that led to successful projects:

  1. Executive Sponsorship
  2. Commitment of project team
  3. Capabilities (knowledge and skills) of project team
  4. Funding availabiity throughout project duration
  5. Effective planning and control techniques
  6. Team work of project team
  7. Clearly established project objectives
  8. Effective uses of project management process
  9. Good Communication

It is important to realize that things that happen during a project life cycle don't happen in a vacuum. Changes that occur affect the whole project. Hence, when a scope is changed, time and cost are also affected. I have seen projects that have failed because budget was cut and the schedule and scope were not revisited. In this case, risk increased and customer satisfaction was affected.
