Define human factors and discuss their impact on project success?

What will be an ideal response?

Human factors in project management focus on how humans behave and interact with the project management process. The controls discussed in the chapter all rely on objective and measurable data based on project outcomes. It is also important to maintain a clear understanding of the importance of people in the project implementation process. Humans must use these technical systems and at times the systems may be ill-suited for convenient use or the circumstances facing the users may provide incentives for the systems to be gamed or deliberately misused. Both non-technical and technical measures should be deployed in order to get a complete picture of how a project is progressing.
