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.
