Engagement, facilitation, transparency. Although broad, they are paramount to ensuring a successful and value-driven delivery. These actions work to drive planning and execution activities in fostering a solution that provides the business with a product that solves the original intent.

It is really a broad and hard question. It depends on several items. Frankly speaking, every single item can/may lead to project failure and the importance of each factor varies for each specific project.

First and foremost stakeholder management, second communications and third (I would say) a clear view on project goals.

Critical success factors are important to establish effective and efficient KPIs for the project. Once the right KPIs for these factors are established, it is easier to manage, monitor and control the project.

The first thing to do is to define what "project success" means for each project.

Sergio has hit the nail on the head. Without defining what success means and gaining alignment on this definition across key stakeholders, it will remain a subjective assessment.

Once we have that consistent definition, based on the context of a project, specific factors will be of greater or lesser importance.

In general I'd say the following are necessary:

1. Committed capable sponsors with sufficient capacity to effectively support a project.
2. Appropriate allocation of committed, capable resources
3. Disciplined, right-sized project management
4. Realistic constraints and achievable outcomes

Stakeholder management (which includes effective communication), clearly defined/agreed upon requirements/acceptance criteria, balance competing constraints.
