Milind, you'll need to be a bit more specific with this question. Which characteristics are you referring to?

In general, the context of a project and its characteristics will affect everything related to its delivery. They should be an input into the tailoring of PM practices as well as many other decisions taken over its life.

Kiron, for eg. Choosing right project management approach(project life cycle) depends on nature and characteristics of a project?

By the above question what comes in mind? in genera. at least common across approaches.

I am aware about project attributes.

Technical aspects, the complexity of tasks, various type of required resources, conflict of interest, budgeting and funding issues, organizational culture, size of the project, geographical location, environmental or governmental challenges, etc.

They are what differentiate between "Go do anything, I don't care what, how much, or how long." and "Go do something to meet specific needs, and here are the qualities that differentiate a good solution and a bad solution."

It is literally that broad a question. Asked another way, it could be "What is an architecture?"

The path to follow if you try to find an answer is (not because I am saying, just because it exists from long time ago including some methods like PRINCE2 cover it) based on understand that a project is a component inside the solution. Solution is equal "the thing" to be created (product/service/result) plus "the way" to create it (project). Then the main roles (roles) are business analyst which is accountable for pre and post project and project manager which is accountable for project. It does not mean they do not work together. So, the whole creation of the solution and how to manage and decide all its parts could be found inside business analysis literature. Just in case could help you I have wrote an article that was published by the PMI and the IIBA as "best practice" related to this. Is the method I used from years and my actual work place has implemented. Here comes. Perhaps it helps you as a general idea: https://www.projectmanagement.com/blog-pos...-right-solution
