Successful Project Management
Successful project management aligns people, process and governance around an evolving definition of success that blends time, cost and quality with benefits and stakeholder value (Ika and Pinto, 2022). Outcomes hinge on leadership and project-manager competencies (Abbas and Ali, 2023).
Technique Overview
Successful Project Management Definition
Project management is the planning, monitoring and control of all aspects of a project and the motivation of all those involved in it to achieve the project objectives on time and to the specified cost, quality and performance (BSI, 1996). In modern practice, success criteria should be co-defined and revisited across the lifecycle to include benefits and stakeholder value, not only the iron triangle (Ika and Pinto, 2022).
