Abstract: Successful project implementation involves two key phases and several important factors. A ten-factor model of project implementation includes three factors involving the strategy phase (the “planning”) and seven representing the tactical phase (the “doing”) of project management. The interaction of strategy and tactics effectiveness and the types of error that may occur in project implementation are discussed.
