How do you define critical success factors for project ?

All-
This is the Construction topic section?
In my Industry, we tend to avoid the complicated and esoteric analysis provided above. Professionally, I could not Instruct my Execution Team based upon the responses above, nor would they care about the PMBOK concepts.
To achieve a "successful" Project (handover the proposed Deliverable) My Team needs to meet the Schedule, deliver the SOW, hit their proposed Quality marks, and make the Client Happy.
It is a very simple game plan for the Execution Team. Achieving it takes a huge effort from all the support groups (Procurement, Project Controls, Doc Controls, Design, HR, Safety Team, Quality team) to support them.
