Executive Summary
There are several factors, which contributes to the success and failure of any undertaken project.
Starting from developing the project plan and a project implementation plan to actually
executing a project, there can be a lot of factors behind execution of an undertaken project as per
plan. A project of opening the café is considered to examine the success and the failure factors in
a project. Opening a café generally requires a large investment both in form of time and money
and therefore, defining a correct vision prior to the execution of the undertaken project is one
main success criteria. The project’s failure can be a cause of lack of detailed business plan. A
detailed business plan include choosing proper location to set up the business, here it is setting
up of a café. This report provides a detailed project description including the project’s budgetary
considerations. The duration and the goal of the project is further discussed in this report. For
successful business development, it is crucial to know the aims of the undertaken project along
with the criteria of success and project’s failure. A lot of work goes into opening and setting up
of a café and a wrong move can cause failure of an entire project. The project would only be a
success if right people are hired for execution of a project. Marketing is one of the effective
methods for ascertaining success of the café. Therefore, one important criterion of success of the
undertaken project is to promote the business in an effective manner so that it reaches the
intended audiences.

1. Introduction
The success and the failure of the project is largely dependent on the process or the
technique that is being followed while executing a project. Considering the Coffee shop opening
project, a lot of important factors goes into project’s execution as per the initial plan. The report
gives an idea of the description of the project’s budgetary considerations, goals and the schedule
of a project. The aim of this report is to address the various reasons that contributes to the
project’s success along with the factors that results in project’s failure. It is however necessary to
eliminate the factors that can act as a reason for the project failure (Kerzner 2017). In the
following paragraphs, the main project descriptions, the budgetary considerations, the duration
and the goals of the project are discussed.
2. Project Description
The project that is considered for evaluation is related to opening a café. The success of
any project is largely determined by its ability of fulfilling the main objectives of a project. For
example, the Queensland health payroll (QHP) project failed, as it could not implement the
project as per the standards of project management and there have been issues with the time
management and scope management in a project (Meredith, Mantel Jr and Shafer 2017).
Ineffective scope management is one common factor that indicates the failure of any undertaken
project and therefore, this factor is needed to be addressed in an effective manner. Therefore, in
the launch of this coffee shop project, various factors were considered in development of the plan
for project along with the project requirements. These factors include budgetary considerations,
duration and the goals of a project (Fleming and Koppelman 2016). The budgetary
