Success vector as a support to decision-making

Using the success vector, all key dimensions of success - stakeholder satisfaction, achievement of benefits, and planning accuracy - can be conveniently taken into account in decision-making (figure 2).

At the same time, decision-making is combined with the evaluation and measurement of the project success.

Risk management and corrective action

Project Success Vector and its components support risk identification, assessment, and planning of corrective action (figure 2).

You can further improve planning accuracy through risk assessment and simulation, using MonteCarlo analysis with MonteCarloProject tool (figure 3).

How to combine Project Success Vector with project planning and reporting?

By combining project planning with the overall picture provided by the success vector, you can easily build a plan that contributes to project success and identify gaps in the collected information.

At the same time project reporting becomes more illustrative. Project Success Vector has both a lenght and a direction, so its rotation in the 'success cube' shows how the components of success have changed since the previous review.

You can find the necessary tools and templates in the Project Manager's Guide (figure 4).
