As you near the door to the conference room for your next team meeting, before you actually get to the door you cannot help but overhear an "energized" exchange of perspectives among your project team members on what constitutes project success. One argues strongly for the triple constraint, another counters with stakeholder satisfaction, another describes project success as a matter of project success criteria that is unique to each project, others argue what matters are the project success factors. Fortunately, just a couple of weeks ago you completed a comprehensive research paper on the subject of project success, project success criteria, project success factors, planning for project success, etc., for a course in your MBA in Project Management program at Bellevue University. You earned an A with glowing compliments from your professor on your paper, so you enter the room confidently and began to dispel the misunderstandings you heard as you neared the door of the room.

 

In a few paragraphs, respond to the following questions:

 

• On the discussion board, summarize what you explained to your project team about project success criteria and what those criteria could be, project success factors and the ordered list of those factors, and the importance for establishing what project success means for a project during the project's early planning.
