A project is deemed successful when the deliverables are met to the client’s expectations and are completed within time and budget. However, it is not as easy as it sounds. Project managers need to meticulously plan every aspect and track the performance at all levels to be successful.
In actual fact a project succeeds when there is a detailed project plan with deliverables documented against each milestone. The project manager then needs to track them at every stage and take corrective action if something goes wrong.
