Episode 276: What Does Project Success Really Mean?

In this episode we will discuss what project success really means. David says that it's not about time, budget and scope. Successful projects are about achieving business goals. Projects are really investments meant to change something about the business, and if they don't hit that business target all the time and money are wasted.
