Seeking Your Insight on Project Success

We're thrilled to highlight the exciting work of Romina Bellarmino , a passionate project manager and researcher who is diving into a crucial topic: the evolving definition of project success. While traditional measures like time, budget, and scope have long been the benchmarks for success, Romina’s research pushes us to think bigger.

She asks a question we must all consider:

Is a project truly successful if it finishes on time and within budget? Or is real success defined by its lasting, positive impact—on the people involved, the organization, the community, or even the environment?

In today’s fast-changing world, this question is more relevant than ever. Artificial Intelligence can generate reports instantly, and information is at our fingertips. This brings to light the critical need for power skills—skills like communication, leadership, and emotional intelligence. These are no longer optional; they are essential for driving true success. The ability to connect, lead, and inspire is what will set great project managers apart.

Romina also emphasizes the importance of psychological safety in the workplace, creating spaces where everyone feels heard and valued. This is where innovation happens, and meaningful results are achieved.

Now, Romina is calling on you—project managers, mentors, psychologists, and change leaders—to contribute to her research. She is seeking diverse perspectives from professionals like you through a quick 6-minute survey. Your insights will help shape the future understanding of project success in this ever-evolving world.
