Project success planning – is a process that should take place at initial stage of a project and that can be performed with a help of project success program. Project success planning includes outlining of project success factors (areas that predefine successful project running and finishing) and success goals (objectives that serve as the key identifiers for project success evaluation).

The process of project success planning is extremely important as far as prior project success evaluation predetermines the entire sense and way of project performance, and if the project success planning wasn't properly carried out –this project risks to be just "dead in the bud" as far as there is no well-grounded documented vision of its success. Fair and honest project success evaluation is what actually tells the difference between normal projects and shady adventures. Project success communication to key stakeholders is indispensable condition of project agreeing and accepting. 

Project success program is a tool that can help you to create and maintain project success plan, to define success areas and goals to achieve towards project success, to outline real tasks and then to create the usual project plan to communicate it to team members. Proper example of project success program that can be used for composing, viewing and sharing project success plan, timetables and calendars through adjustable and convenient interface with different modes (timeline, calendar, task tree, to-do list) is VIP Task Manager. This client-server project success program helps everyone who is related to project (project owners, managers and participants) at first, to establish project success communication, then to monitor project execution and, finally, to close project through project success evaluation through comparing of success measures and real outputs.
