Abstract

In present times any kind of activity is considered as a project, which has a complex characteristic and which involves a new vision starting with the analysis of the project needs and finishing with the efficient re-usage of the project results. The pressures of the global economical and political competitive system of the contemporary world, the competition between producers, a higher respect for the value, and the wellbeing of those who compose the human resources of the project and implicitly for the cost generated by the work factor led to the development of new techniques of project management. The first one who offers what the client wants is the winner and has all the chances to survive in a competitive system. The solution is to realize success projects using an efficient project management. A performing business means an investment in a successful project, with predictable and planned activities. This study wants to identify which are the main causes which lead to the success or failure of a project. In any field some projects were serious and expansive failures and this is the reason why we need to know how we can improve the knowledge and the practice when we conceive and develop a project.
