Success / Failure 1

Project Success and Failure
The aim of project management is to achieve the project objectives within cost, time and quality constraints.

Think back to the projects you have been involved in.

  • Were they a success?

  • What factors did you use to measure success?

If a project overuns on budget or time, is it a failure?
