	Additional Success Factors Without empowerment of (action/activity) authority, accountability, reasonable performance metrics, and proper time-lines which support corporate/project/program objectives the opportunity for failure is increased. Things left unattended will migrate from 'bad' to 'worse' on their travel to 'catastrophy'.

	Consider Organization Culture Organization culture needs to be considered while delegating the responsibility and setting up accountability. Organization culture is a effective asset to draw up the blue print for the project.

	Key Success Factor From the perspective of a consultant or contractor, the client organization must have a strong, committed project sponsor or "champion" with sufficient clout to maintain client focus on the reason for undertaking the project. If client interest wanes, probability of project success also wanes no matter how effective the consultant or contractor may be.

	Project Success Factors In my opinion, the key project success factor is: talk to your people not necessary everyday but regularly. The conversation is had best on-site at where the project team member is. Instead of the project team member to go visit the project manager's office.

	Project Success Factors To put a project on success path, every project participant must have veritable project comprehension. Without a complete understanding of a project nature and its characteristics for instance, tasks to be undertaken for the project may be nebulous let alone establishing methodologies required to perform the tasks accordingly for a desired outcome. Project is unique, therefore, different factors will determine success of different projects. It is however significant that understanding of the project is arguably the most important and common success factor.
