The enthusiasm and dedication of a group of project managers, ingineers, statisticians, economists, sociologists, mathematicians, etc., during two decades, between 1960 and 1980 led to the foundation of the theory of critical factors and major criteria for a success project. The voice of some giants like Dennis P. Slevin, and Jeffrey K. Pinto, deduced from their papers and from their activities and views, as well as from the instrumental, methodological and project manangement education works, have provided, and are still providing, a holistic conceptualization of national and regional, European and international theory of critical factors and major criteria visions centered on information and results aimed at improving economic, social, institutional, etc. standards and performance of the success project evaluations. The authors of this article try to present synthetically their opinion, and at the end of the paper to identify through a statistical hierarchical manner some specific aspects of the successful projects in Romania financed by the European Union (EU).
