When a project has a "hard gate," like being ready on time, how does that affect normal success criteria? Is it fair to judge a project with a critical completion date by normal project success standards? Why or why not?

Explanation:

The issue that determines the success of a project is usually attributed to managing the scope of the project.  Therefore, in some projects, the deadline for completion is not necessarily the most fundamental criterion that will incur your success.

Every project has a defined deadline for the beginning and the end, so the project management must be planned so that the time is sufficient for the execution of its tasks that will lead to the achievement of the objectives and goals.

Therefore, it is not fair to judge a project with a critical completion date, due to the fact that the project was developed and controlled so that success was related to other more important variables for such a project, not only time, but also its effectiveness , cost-benefit, quality, costs, etc.

so i don't know what video you're talking about, but here's some stuff steve jobs gave as advice.

- love what you do.

- the worst thing that could happen might turn out to be the best thing that could happen.

- follow your heart and trust it knows where it's going.
