(2003-06-27) Project Success

Frank Patrick and Dale Emery on defining Project success. Another way of looking at the various players involved in projects is through the lens of what the Theory Of Constraints body of knowledge refers to as necessary conditions... Note the common "now and in the future" thread. As necessary conditions of sustainability or growth, these insist that the system cannot be allowed to pay for current success by squandering the future, and vice versa.
