There are major benefits in evaluating and learning from past projects going forward to new projects. The evaluation can be performed in various ways, however, something that is always on the agenda is determining the success of how the project was managed and the outcome of the project.

The project success and project management success does not have an exact definition, however, are key terms when evaluating, and getting an idea of the overall result of an ended project. This is also important because is often during projects that the project manager loses sight of the project success in favour of ensuring the project management success. Which the result could be not actually solving the problem that was the scope of the project. [1]

This article will give an understanding of how to determine the project success and project management success. Furthermore, how to apply the determination of the success. [2] [3] [4] [5]

  • Survey from project managers showing that close to 50% see project success and project management success as the same.
