Abstract

From the eleven success factors derived earlier, ‘human factors’ and ‘management actions’ have been further analyzed. A hypothesis that ‘project success’ is influenced by ‘success traits’ has been formulated. The hypothesized positive inter-relationships between success traits and project success have been tested using the structural equation modeling technique. Various steps taken for achieving the objectives are clearly outlined. The results of the analysis show that hypothesis set for the study holds good. Human factors and management actions play a key role in making the project a success. It can be concluded that trained, committed, competent participant’s coordination, with constant monitoring and feedback with regular budget update will influence the successful completion of project.
