Communicate well. So much time and money can be wasted on a project due to lack of communication. Lack of communication also causes widespread dissatisfaction and resentment, and can lead to good people leaving an organization. Saving Changes...

Since Eric mentioned communication, I will go with 'Transparency'. It encompasses communication, also including exposure, which in turn, will lead to a project where all will have a clear window into the current status and upcoming expectations, or potential curves in the road. It's not a birthday party, so let's avoid surprises :) Saving Changes...

You can't narrow it down to "one thing." It's not that easy.
Look at technology. There isn't "one thing" that makes the internet work. To the contrary, there are many things that make it work, and if one of those things fails, you lose internet service. That's why your company hires so many people to keep your network running and your website online.
Projects aren't accomplished by machines, of course; project teams are made of people, and people are far more complex and moody than machines. So imagine everything it takes to keep a complex network of machines running, and cube it. That's what it takes to make a project successful. Saving Changes...

Communication (and Negotiation) is definitely very important for project success.

I see where one young boy has just passed 500 hours sitting in a treetop. There is a good deal of discussion as to what to do with a civilization that produces prodigies like that. Wouldn't it be a good idea to take his ladder away from him and leave him up there?
