Project success constants and how they may be applied to enable sustainable projects in the global aid environment

This paper focuses on the constant factors found in project success through all range of projects and then how to apply them in the Aid Project Management environment. It will do so by comparing best PM practice with PM practice on distressed and troubled projects that take place within the context of post-disaster relief projects where there is a notable absence of characteristics of required identified PM antecedents. It will look at the application of constant sustaining factors and their work in the Framework of PMBOK as well as the Project Monitoring and Evaluation and Logframe processes more commonly used for aid projects.
