^ [[Appendix G - Glossary - PM2]] # Success Criteria Success criteria comprise the standards by which the project is judged. Success criteria are measurements established to determine whether the project has satisfied its objectives and met its requirements. Success criteria can be qualitative or quantitative, and are ideally SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Realistic, and Time-bound). Do not confuse success criteria with benefits: While success criteria can be measured at project closure, benefits are often achieved long after project closure. Spanish Guide: [[Criterios de Éxito]]
