What ensures success of a project?

The ultimate success of a project is influenced by many of factors. Some of them are, however, always valid. Lets, therefore, remind the most important factors with the help of projectsmart.co.uk.

1. Strategic planning

The basic prerequisite for the success of a project is understanding particular marketplace and competition and defining specific objectives according to it. It is the same even in the  cases where the "marketplace" means a small internal team or department.

2. Product development

New product, process or service should be created based on the defined objectives. It should be clearly documented right at the beginning of the project.

3. Marketing

You should be able to sell the project to end users whether they are customers on the global market or internal workers with typically human dismissive attitude to change.

4. Support

Each project manager should provide a support mechanism for end users both before and after project implementation.

5. Coworkers

Each project should have its own sponsor defining business objectives, its own manager preparing detailed project plan and members of the project team realizing the plan.
