How Do We Measure Project Success? A Survey

Al-Shaaby A and Ahmed A

In fact, the principal objective of all projects is to be successful. Doubts often arise about what and who actually determine project success. Many success criteria (SC) have been proposed and considered in the previous years to handle the project success issue. The main purpose of this paper is to explore success criteria of the project from various perspectives of people looking at the project. A comprehensive technical survey of the recent papers which identified the success criteria of the project was conducted. An analysis of this survey yields many criteria which can be used to determine if the project is successful or unsuccessful. Findings show that the most important criteria to measure the successful of the project are four criteria listed in order of their significance as Time, Quality, Cost, and Scope.
