19 November 2013 | Focus Group Event | Project Success: What is it, how do we measure it, and how do we make it happen?
A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) fifth edition has a section defining “Success” in terms of completing the project within the constraints of scope, time, cost, quality, resources and risk as approved between the project managers and senior management.
However, that's not all when it comes to project success criteria.In addition to above conditions, the project manager must work closely with the customer and other key stakeholders to ensure the product, service or result of the project has met their expectations. Understanding the business drivers and ensuring that the project meets the objectives of the business will also contribute to success.
As a project manager, you may think that delivering business results isn't your concern, that it's the customer's problem or should be handed off to a Business Analyst. An exceptional project manager, however, is one that takes the time to, understand thebusiness drivers, form a partnership with the customer, and take steps to ensure that the project they lead delivers the business results for which it was designed.
That is real project success.
Now this invites many questions, including:
- Who defines “success”?
- How, and when, do we measure success?
- How do we make our projects more successful?
Get answers to these questions, and many others, in this interactive session featuring case studies of projects which have been regarded as successful, with particular reference to the 2012 London Olympics project including reviews of official reports and interviews with project participants.
