Hi Guys, I'm nearly finishing my Project Management course, I am quite fascinated about it and would love to get into it more deeply, not sure how, yet. But for now a huge favour, as a part of my Research paper I need to write what are the critical success factors for project manager that will lead to successful project, so I thought it is probably the best to ask proffessionals in the field. Thanks so much for any help!! Regards, Natalia

Natalia:
It would seem more realistic to provide us your critical success factors (pick five) and ask us to comment. Especially since you just finished your course; you should have some idea of the role of a PM, what a project is and what would success look like when the project is completed. Share your description of your example project and your 3 - 5 critical success factors. Saving Changes...
Thanks so much Naomi,
I'm not sure if that would be the right approach, but I was thinking of dividing the factors into 3 groups ie:
Before:
-Correct estimates,
-Make sure project is realistic
-Ask client all required questions, and even more to have the best 'vision' of the project
During:
-Have crystal clear requirements (both PM +Team members)
-Avoiding/manage scope creep
-Risk/Issues management,
-Great communication between everyone involved in project,
-Weekly meetings, reports,
-Sign-off the project
After:
- Post Evaluation
Do you think that makes sense or id it to much of the factors, they all seems to be very important though.
1- Communication
2- Risk Management
3- Scope Saving Changes...

People. More than a Project Manager be a Leader, motivate and inspired. For me this is the main factor. If you treat your resources and team as people and apply the same values that you would apply in a family project success is imminent. Of course you have to also applied your Project Management theoretical knowledge and experience. Good Luck! Buena Suerte! Saving Changes...
