Rules for successful projects and suggestions for the improvement of the probability of success

Abstract

The number of failed projects appears to be increasing these days. The transitions to open systems. developments on a larger scale, developments based on the short-term and low costs are the main reasons for this increase. Naturally project management is far more complex than before. And, the demand for these large scale and complex projects is increasing. I therefore strongly believe that we need to improve the success probability of this type of project. Based on recent personal experience of a failed project, I have constructed six rules to ensure success in project management. I also offer suggestions for the increase in success probability of projects.
