various points such as detailed analysis of success and failure factors (Powell and McGuigan,
2020). Another one is the reflective part of lessons learnt along with the recommendations for

Trinity Saint David in relation to establishing the Salisbury House. This house is an additional
block to implement the plan of project in an efficient manner (Korthagen and Nuijten, 2022).
Critical success/failure factors
Critical success factors
Various success factors are explained below-
Market related factors- These are one of the important success factors in which the project get
affected by it as there are environmental factors that takes place outside the organisation. On
such factors, the company has no control. But they play a crucial role in the overall success of
the project such as technological, actions of the other companies and the policy of government
and many others (Sato and Kageto, 2020).
Engagement of Stakeholders- In the given case study, teachers, students, employees, higher
authority, the government, society, and others are all crucial participants in the project. In which
Internal stakeholders comprise of students, teachers, staff, university management, professors,
and on the other hand, external stakeholders considers government, society, and higher
authorities. Above mentioned all the stakeholders are responsible for maintaining better relations
in project execution and they have the power to influence the overall programme.
Clearly defined tasks- When the tasks are properly defined in the project then a task or work
can lead to achieve big goals . It is also essential to set the way or path to compete the project
successfully (Botelho and Bhuyan, 2021).
Best experience- When the people are linked with any project so, it is important to consider
themselves by giving them value so that they contribute more to the project. It is also crucial to
provide the best experiences to the students so the project can be made successful. The project
should deliver what they promise with other by keeping their promise and by giving qulaity
services to keep them informative and satisfied.

Awareness about project- When the people and learners are not aware about any project then,
they will be not be able to receive the benefits of that. Such as the project is made in order to
bring some delivery to the specific people and due to which, the organisation also get benefits
from it.
Best quality services to the learners- In relation to the give case, the best interaction with the
parents and the learners is vital because customer service is that factor which may create or
damage the image of the project in the market. That is why, the project must appoint such people
who are experienced and belong to this filed (Bagnall, Hodge and O’Regan, 2022).
Having a clear plan- It is also essential to have a clear set of plan and goals to bring success in
the organisation . The first thing is to have a plan that comprises of the desired goals in a proper
manner and these clear goal will lead to streamline the actions to attain the goals.
Proper skills and knowledge- In relation to the given case, the communication, money
management and taking constructive feedback are required in the chosen sector. These skills are
considered to be success factors in determining success of the organisation.
Failure factor
Various failure factors are explained below-
Poor planning in some areas- Although the overall project was properly managed but due to
lack of planning the project faced some issues as the role of each member was not clear. The
roles were not clearly defined and there were no deadlines attached to it. Such unclear objectives
affected the overall progress of the work and lead to unclear conclusion of the work (Yousef and
Khatiry, 2021).
Lack of communication-Due to lack of knowledge and experience, poor communication
affected the whole project management and there was less interaction between the members of
the team.
Lack of proper visibility- there are always some points which are related with projects which
can lead to the failure of the project. Hence, it is important to have proper project management
system which allows the proper visibility for all the members of the project and the team.
High Expectation- With the limited budget, the project can not be make successful and when
the activities are not managed and monitored by the management. Less progress check can be a
reason for the failure of project Liu, 2020).
