According to me the most important 5 success factors are:
1)Agreeing on the project goals
2)Effective Communication
3)Develop clearly defined plans with assigned responsibilities.
4)Managing project scope effectively.
5)Making sure of management support.

So how are these factors individually important for a project?

4) Managing the project scope or maintain the focus on the scope is very important because having a definite scope allows project managers to stay on target. Many outlying factors can contribute to project delays and project failures, but properly managing your scope focus can help prevent these common issues. Lastly, the scope allows you to have a lot more control and flexibility over the project, so minor issues will not cause any delays. 

5) Im not sure what is meant by making sure of management support, but I think it is alluding to being supportive to the project team as the project manager. Leading with knowledge, confidence, and kindness is important to any team dynamic. If the team does not feel supported by the managers, they may be less likely to inquire about things and make more mistakes that can lead to a cascade of issues. Leading with the qualities mentioned above will make the project overall more efficient because it will be motivated and cohesive.

There are many factors which contribute to the success of a project, one of the most important for me being the teamwork which contributes most. having a clear idea of the outcome, having a good communication among the team members, sharing the details of the progress which every on has done and subsequently deciding on the next step is highly important. Finishing the project goals and then creating the reports and getting good customer feedback would contribute to the success of the project. However the feedback is also very important as it will always keep the quality of the product maintained and there will be room for more innovations.

I agree that those 5 factors are important for the success of any project, especially effective communication. In a project where there may be several departments and a lot of people working in collaboration to achieve the same goals, it is extremely important that everything is communicated. This includes updates on progress, any setbacks that occur, or disagreements that may arise. The importance of communication is highlight by the fact that the other factors rely on effective communication. Agreeing on project goals and the development of clearly defined plans and responsibilities require communication with everyone on the team. Management of project scope and management support also rely consistent communication between all members of the team.

Each part has a specific purpose in getting a project completed in time and successfully. If a team can not agree on the project goals, then there is no measurable ending point. The group will not know what they are aiming to complete as a whole. This can lead to confusion. Effective communication allows the project to move forward smoothly. It removes the possibility of individuals being in the dark or guessing what is going on. It also provides for management support when there is a task in which one needs assistance. When there is clear communication and a clear plan, everyone knows exactly what they are expected to do and when.

I believe that all of the reasons identified are critical for a project's success, but the most significant is to have well established schedules and delegated responsibilities. Each project role must be defined in your data management strategy, as well as the skills required to complete the task. Also, I believe that an effective data processing strategy necessitates the availability and training of the necessary personnel. Budgeting, execution, and data resource preservation can also benefit from defining unique activities and responsible actors.

Briefly, there are 5 critical success factors that are important to help project managers:

1- Facilitate communication between different project stakeholders 

2- Monitor and control scope, changes, and risks

3- Identify and prioritize goals and tasks

4- Identify and allocate resources

5- Remove bottlenecks in knowledge-sharing flows.

Oh goodness, if you don't have a good handle on all of these factors it is a good chance your project may go up in flames. Or at least feel like it.  I'll go down the list choosing a few to show why each is important to the project, the team, or both.

1/ If the team is not on the same page about goals and what needs to be done, there is going to be a lot of confusion. Possibly even some un-needed over lap.  This is no way to run a project.

2/ This is the same as the above. When a team is not good at communicating things may be done two, three, or even four times and the team will never get anywhere.

5/ This is really important. When a team does not have a good leader things go sour fast.  And personally, I've seen a lack of support from the leaders help in sinking an otherwise well made ship.

Agree on the project goals. Make sure there is agreement with management, project sponsors, and other stakeholders on the purpose and goals of the project. Clear measurable goals will help define the project scope.

Develop clearly defined plans with assigned responsibilities and accountabilities. Developing a plan is more than just entering the tasks into a software application.  All the deliverables need to be defined along with the necessary tasks to produce them and any associated risks. 

Manage the project scope effectively. The project scope is defined in the goal setting, and planning stages of a project.  The project manager must always be on the alert for changes to the scope and effectively manage those changes.

1) Agreeing on the project goals is important because you have to make sure that the project is going in the correct direction and that the goals that you are hitting are what everyone has agreed upon and deemed to be important to the project at hand to be successfully completed.

2) Effective communication is great to make sure that one is able to convey the message of what needs to be completed. That all needs and issues that make come up that one is able to communicate. This will in turn help to network and meet new people.

3) Develop clear defined plans with assigned responsibilities is a great factor to ensure that the project that is planned is able to completely go through the project lifecycle to its completion. This is done when the guidelines are clear and everyone knows their role within the project.

4) Managing the project scope is very important because if you stray from the scope direction this can throw a project off budget. Planning for this is a great way to ensure that one stays on base and is productive in a project.

5) Making sure of management support is also great within a project and depending on the project structure organization this will drive the direction of who needs to reach out to who. It will define support system setup.

Discussing the scope of a project and developing designed plans and responsibilities help contribute to the logistics of the project.  Management support is crucial because the project manager is responsible for assigning roles and creating teams.  With the help of effective communication, the scope of the project can be narrowed down to specific goals.

There are many factors that contribute to the success of a project. The five factors mentioned above consisting of agreeing on project goals, effective communication, developing clearly defined plans with assigned responsibilities, managing project scope, and making sure of management support are certainly key factors that contribute to a project’s success. Individually these factors deliver key necessities for the success of a project. For instance, agreeing on the project’s goals. This is a huge component of the project’s success and is an arm of the scope of the project. If the scope and goals of the project do not align, the project’s probability of success will not be great. Effective communication is a must, communication is key on any project. Poor communication will yield poor results. Developing clearly defined plans with assigned responsibilities ties into proper planning of the project. With proper planning this factor should be considered and applied. Lastly, having management support is a big factor in the success of a project. Without management support, the project will definitely struggle if and most likely when adversity arises.

1) When everyone is in agreement of the project goals individuals are more like to contribute more to the group and work harder towards the goal.

2) Effective communication plays important role because it helps set clear guidelines for the project and let ideas and concerns be shared. which helps move the project along more smoothly.

3) This factors relates back to effective communication. When you have define plan you are giving the team member clear check point and small goals for the team to achieve. While assigning responsibilities helps limit the stress of a large overwhelm project for individuals and helps break things down.

4) managing project just helps ensure the project is progressing as it should.\

5) Making sure management is supportive is important because if the teams know they have a backbone to lean on when thing go wrong or if they just have a question it help best moral.

They are individually important because they all help the project be successful. Agreeing on project goals helps because a project will never get done unless it has clear goals established by everyone involved.  Effective communication is important because if no one is able to communicate effectively, the project will not be successful because no one will be on the same page which will cause some conflict.  Developing defined plans with assigned responsibilities is important because without those clear cut expectations, no one will know what they are supposed to be and not supposed to be doing. Managing the project scope effectively is important because we need people in place to manage if the project is going according to plan, and if its not, they can bring everyone together and make a plan to fix it. Management support is important because without it, the staff would not know how to proceed to the next phases of the project without management.

I agree that the list of successful factors are some of the most important attributes to project development. First and foremost, the willingness has to be present. Every team member will be expected to take responsibility for their role. This also suggests the importance of communication amongst all parties. The lack of communication can have a negative domino effect when working on a project.

The success of a medical device system project depends on five key factors. Firstly, agreeing on clear and achievable project goals provides a shared understanding of the project's purpose and objectives. Effective communication is crucial throughout the project, ensuring everyone is on the same page and addressing any issues promptly. Developing a well-defined project plan with assigned responsibilities for each team member helps to work efficiently towards project completion. Managing project scope effectively helps to control the project's objectives or deliverables to stay within the agreed-upon boundaries. Lastly, management support is essential to provide necessary resources and support required for project success. Overall, these factors ensure successful collaboration and project completion
