The project development management success presents an ongoing challenge for managers.\nIt is perceived as a means allowing to meet the effectiveness and efficiency challenges in\ncomplex and unstable environment. The purpose of this paper is to explore from different\nperspectives of the local players looking at the key success factors that can contribute to the\nlocal development project management success. According to Lim and M Zain (1999),\nsuccess factors are defined as a set of circumstances, facts, or influences that lead to a result.\nHowever, very few researches worked on development project management success factors,\nand most of them lacked precision in the subject matter.Using local development project of\nTaroudant province (located in south of Morocco) as a case study, this paper explores the\nfactors that seem to contribute to project management success. The latter have been\nclassified into four categories: (1) factors related to the manager and the project team, (2)\norganizational factors, (3) factors related to the project, (4) factors related to the external\nenvironment. Our objective is to understand the degree of importance of these factors in the\nproject lifecycle from the perspective of local players.The data collected was analyzed using\nthematic content analysis. Results indicated that all factors are found to be vital in achieving\nthe project management success. It was also revealed that the relative importance of these\nfactors varies significantly at different phases of project lifecycle.
