What is the benchmark for project success

Question

What success will really look like can help the team stay focused and make important decisions throughout the life of the project?

So, in order to be successful, I guess bench-marking should be implemented as a structured, systematic process. What is your opinion?

Answer 1

For me, success is the stakeholders that are happy and sign off the project. I have said before that a project can effectively fail, as long as the stakeholders are happy and sign off.
