Abstract: This paper describes an in depth analysis of successful and unsuccessful software Projects and the Role of Software Project Mangers in that success. One of the main reason in software project success is manager. Software houses are investing too much in this regard but the average ratio of software project failure is on the high side. Project managers experience, technical knowledge, and skills are not good enough for success in general. In this paper we have conducted a survey related to the approached used by different project managers, their methods and techniques, and the success ratio of their projects, and the steps they took during their projects. We will explore the core reasons of software project success and then will suggest key steps to be taken by the software project managers to deliver a successful software project.
