Abstract: This article is devoted to the issue of project assessment, in particular with regard to identification of factors affecting the success of their execution. The primary purpose of the article is to attempt to determine the factors conditioning the course of the project execution from the perspective of different groups of stakeholders, above all, in the opinion of project managers and executors (members of project teams). For this purpose, the authors used a survey of the literature and analysis of own quantitative research. The research results have revealed that, from the perspective of managers and executors of research projects, the most important factors determining the projects' progress are directly related to the characteristics and structure of the project and the activities of the executor teams. This subject matter is significant both due to cognitive, as well as practical reasons. It provides useful knowledge both with regard to management sciences, as well as information resource important for project managers and executors.
