The purpose of this paper is to study the different aspects of project success. Defining and assessing project success is a strategic management concept, which should help align project efforts with the short- and long-term goals of the organization. While this concept seems sinlple, there is very little agreement in previous studies as to what really constitutes project success. Traditionally, projects were perceived as successful when they met time, budget, and performance goals. However, many would agree that there is more to project success than meeting time and budget. The object of this study is to develop a framework for assessing project success and to show the different meanings of Success factors and criteria for different stakeholders and different projects at different times.
