Abstract

This article explores Critical Success Factors (CSFs) in project management, focusing on key elements for project success. By analyzing common CSFs such as clear and realistic project objectives and strategies, top management support and commitment, effective project planning and scheduling, stakeholder engagement, effective communication, risk management, optimal resource allocation, a competent and motivated team with clear roles and responsibilities, adaptability to change, and leadership, alongside more specific factors, the research aims to deepen the understanding of the factors that drive project success. Through a comprehensive literature review and utilization of Multi-Attribute Decision Making (MADM) methods, the study provides valuable insights to enhance project outcomes and achieve organizational goals. By ranking and prioritizing these critical factors based on input from experienced project managers and practitioners in the field, using expert judgment and the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) guide, the research offers practical recommendations to enhance project performance and ensure successful project delivery. This effort aims to bridge the gap between project management theory and practice, ultimately leading to more effective project results.
