This paper aims to raise the awareness for the impact that project managers have for successful projects. The paper also aims to reflect if the current definition of success is sufficient. Five project examples show that projects need to fulfill sustainability requirements to be declared successful. This attitude towards project success by all project managers worldwide could have the potential to change current environmental developments worldwide.
