Abstract

The proposed paper will analyze the causes for project failure and factors for project success based on a study being currently developed among the agents involved in project management within the Asturian field. A survey will be developed and distributed among companies and Governing Bodies of the Principality of Asturias being involved in Project Management. This survey will not only be addressed to Project Managers, but also to stakeholders - clients, contractors and engineering companies being included. This study will manage to identify differences in perception about the success or failure of different projects in different sectors, which range from private to Civil Service. Keywords: success factors, failure causes, project management, risk management
