Abstract

The high frequency of using projects in all fields determined the increasing importance of adequate project management. Considering the direct relationship between reaching projects’ objectives and the long term development of an organization, aspects regarding projects’ success and the success factors of projects are topics of great interest in project management literature. Reaching projects’ objectives in compliance with constraints of cost, time and performance is usually not sufficient to determine whether the project was successful or not. While literature provides different perspectives regarding this topic, in practice things get sometimes even more complicated, project success being often vaguely defined. This article aims to present an overview on the topic of project success and identify main success factors when dealing with projects using a quantitative research.
