Project Success and the Role of the Project Manager

A strategic guide to redefining project success and clarifying the true role and responsibility of the project manager within business-integrated systems.

This paper challenges the conventional idea that project success is the sole responsibility of the project manager. Using Uruk’s Four Dimensions Model, it distinguishes between technical success, PM success, product delivery, and business objectives. It emphasizes that success is a system-wide outcome—rooted in strategy, operations, governance, and stakeholder alignment. The document offers a mature, realistic perspective on the role of project managers and how organizations should assess success beyond scope, time, and cost.
