The first and crucial step for a project to get successful is having a talented project manager, but there are other various elements that impact the outcome of a project. The other factors that contribute to project success are planning, effective communication, attention to detail, proper risk management strategies, and robust project closure.

1. Good employees: having capable employees in the project team can make a project successful. In general, the project can be disturbed at any point in time. To overcome this problem, both team members and stakeholders of the project should share their interests and commitment with the project team. The team members as a group should share the same ideas for the project and focus on success.
2. Better planning: A thorough strategy gets the ball rolling right away in the direction of project success. The project's team and stakeholders should always be aware of the project's direction from the outset. The team can stay organized and accomplish important deadlines with the aid of thorough preparation.
3. Effective communication: An open line of communication is crucial to the success of a project. It is crucial for the team to be informed about every facet of the project when working within a set timeframe. Learn when to say no as well. One shouldn't make guarantees they can't keep.
4. Risk management: Projects frequently do not proceed according to schedule. Due to hazards that surface during a project, some fail spectacularly, and others fail miserably. Organizations presently lose USD 109 million for every billion invested in projects and programs, according to PMI's "Pulse of the Profession: The High Cost of Poor Performance" report. Make an action plan to address the risks that surface during the creation of a risk log.
5. Project closure: it is crucial for a project to have a robust closure. The project manager must be strong and be in agreement with the clients that all the vital success factors have been encountered. Three elements such as testing, project delivery, and release confirmation should be agreed upon and signed off.
