Business Process Management Critical Success Factor

A project could be something as relatively simple as designing a new kitchen, through creating a new website to building your dream house, or relocating an entire company overseas. Projects crop up in our personal life and in almost all areas of business and industry on a regular basis.

What determines the success or failure of all types of diverse projects, large and small, comes down to the same few key elements. There are, of course, many factors that vary between projects; not least of these are the people involved. Whether it is the client, various contractors or the project manager, they each will have different personal attributes which can contribute positively or negatively to the success of the project. But the main areas that determine a genuinely successful project – the areas most likely to cause problems if not managed properly – are as follows.

The Scope

The scope or requirements of any project must be fully defined at the outset and written down in full detail using unambiguous language. Every member of the project team must read and understand these requirements and also fully understand what has been specifically excluded. To ensure that everyone understands what is both in-scope and out-of-scope the requirements document should be reviewed together by the whole team before it is finalised.
