The first factor of project success is the effective communication.

Without common understanding, there is not effective communication.

So, we near to fail no near to success.

I think that the decision to stop the project is difficult without the support of the management team, which is not easy.

So I agree with Mr. Ayoub Tartir in his mind that he would consult   members of the management team, and by his experience he must dissolve the dilemmas and disputes with customers for the benefit of the project and the company

The top management team support is a big factor for succeeding any project. But in this case, the project manager should have a meeting with the project management team to discuss the project status and how to achieve any kind of obstacles that the project has by searching for any kind of alternatives before closing the project..

There is high possibility of failure if there is lack of support from sponsor or key stakeholders (Sr. Management) because it is essential for all the stakeholders, sponsor and project manager to be on the same page in terms of project objectives, expectations from each other..

Management commitment is very essential to keep the company reputation in market.

Project manager can support and keep the communications both client and management  as a focal point and he can not take any decision in front of customer without getting concurrence from top management.

Project manager can be survived with the support of top management

The key in terms of project management is to assess the level of interest of your stakeholders and accordingly identify the risks and have a mitigation plan in place. Management team is a key stakeholder and you definetely need your management to sign off on the milestones that you plan to achieve during the course of the project

It is unlikely for a project manager be successful without the support of his management team in front of the customers.

 

The project manager has to receive support from team members, as well as, the management team.

 

The key thing to remember here is, the measure of the success of a project or program depends on how successful the overall team is.

 

Kindly let me know in case of further questions please.
