Project Success

The issue of what defines project success (or failure) is complex and often elusive and dependent on the perceptions of different stakeholders. In this enlightening book Emanuel Camilleri examines the key factors bearing on perceived success or failure. This book is not just about project management it goes much deeper into the topic of project success by prescribing a project success framework. In chapters dedicated to factors such as leadership teams communication information management and risk management the author shines a light on the key behaviours in which project managers and others engage and how those behaviours predict success or failure. Practising project managers project board members and sponsors struggling to manage conflicting stakeholder expectations complexity and ambiguity will learn which factors are vital to determining successful outcomes. Finally having highlighted the particular skills abilities and attributes identified by the research Dr Camilleri offers a diagnostic model for assessing an organization's preparedness for undertaking and successfully managing major projects. Project Success provides a valuable contribution to the literature on this subject and its application delivers practical guidance that will be welcomed by project professionals at all levels.
