Thought Leadership

Maximizing Project Success

PMI is leading the movement towards greater project success. Discover the critical insights from our groundbreaking research, Maximizing Project Success: Elevating the Impact of the Project Profession. Elevating the impact on our world.

This report explores a modern, broadly shared definition of project success and outlines the factors that can help maximize it—all derived from the largest study we’ve ever conducted. It challenges project professionals to shift their focus from the traditional metrics of project management success (the triple constraints) to project success. It’s about the project delivering long-term value for the enterprise and, ultimately, our world.

Our research reveals four implications for how project professionals should think about, and execute, their work, so they can achieve more:

1. Manage perceptions. How can you ensure stakeholders view your project as successful—beyond the numbers?
2. Own project success beyond project management success. Are you prepared to take full accountability for delivering value, not just meeting requirements?
3. Reassess project parameters. How do you adapt your plans to inevitable changes in dynamic environments?
4. Expand perspective. What is your project's broader impact, and how can it contribute to a better world?
