This paper explores the key factors in which a project manager should focus on Software development projects in order to increase the probability of getting successful results. To define and rank these factors, we have analyzed the root causes of why these projects fail; we have also reviewed the software continuous improvement model CMMI and gathered the experience of different project managers throughout their professional career. For each ranked factor, the author describes the main aspects to take into account in order to guide the project managers in the best way to implement it.
