Dynamic Conditions for Project Success

Summary

The Dynamic Conditions for Project Success 2021 report builds on the Conditions for Project Success 2015 findings and can be used at an organisational level to set up projects for success from the outset. 

In 2015, Association for Project Management published a report which sought to identify the core factors which lead to project success. These conditions, subject to the situation and the judgement of the project professional, can be implemented with any project, programme or portfolio and help to best ensure project success. However, despite widespread usage we identified at the end of this research that dynamic conditions at the organisational, professional, and socio-economic levels existed that could help to shape successful project-based organisations.

With this in mind and through a commissioned tender APM sought with the Universities of Sussex and Southampton to further develop the findings of the 2015 report by investigating these organisational, professional, and socio-economic dynamic conditions that can enhance project outcomes.
