I read a blog recently on the definition of project success and was surprised by the definition. The definition, based on Pier’s experience with agile development, is when the customer is happy and when the project team is happy and satisfied. I will probably be vilified for this, but I disagree. A project can be very successful and the project team miserable. I don’t recommend it, but it is true. The project is paid for by someone. That person or persons defines the success criteria. Whether they use that criteria or not is a different issue, but let us assume they do. If you meet those criteria, success; if not, failure. Further, depending on those criteria, it is possible for degrees of success or failure.
