| Tiivistelmä: | This article presents projects as powerful strategic weapons, initiated to create economic value and competitive advantage. It suggests that project managers are the new strategic leaders, who must take on total responsibility for project business results. Defining and assessing project success is therefore a strategic management concept, which should help align project efforts with the short- and long-term goals of the organization. This study's object was to develop multidimensional framework for assessing project success, showing how different dimensions mean different things to different stakeholders at different times and for different projects. The analysis identified four major distinct success dimensions: (1) project efficiency, (2) impact on the customer, (3) direct business and organizational success, and (4) preparing for the future. The article demonstrates how these dimensions should be addressed during the project's definition, planning, and execution phases, and provides a set of guidelines for project managers and senior managers, as well as suggestions for further research. |
