What does a successful project include according to the criteria?

A successful project encompasses various criteria, among which judged standards of success are essential. These standards typically include the project’s completion on time, within budget, and to the specified quality. Evaluating a project against these criteria allows stakeholders to have a clear understanding of its effectiveness and overall success.

While other options may have elements that contribute to a project's outcome, focusing solely on aesthetic qualities does not address the practical benchmarks needed for a project to be deemed successful. Collaboration with vendors is also vital, but it is part of the broader process rather than a standalone measure of success. Meeting regulatory requirements is critical but is often considered a baseline requirement that does not alone define a project's overall success. The true measure of success lies in how well a project meets the established judged standards, as these encompass various aspects of the project's delivery and outcomes.
