Andrea Giovanni Spelta:[9] Useful References
Matthew started this discussion by saying "While I realize this is a recurring
topic..." Indeed, practitioners and researchers have been discussing what is the
meaning of project success since 1988 (see the following references obtained during
a literature review I have made for a research). Today it is a generally accepted
statement to say there are many dimensions of project success, and project management
success is just one of them. If the PMBOK does not make this point clear yet,
then it should be rectified in a new version.

Management, v. 6, n.3, p.77-82, ago. 1988.
