Throughout the years, project management has evolved tremendously. As technological innovations occur, project management framework also evolved. As the project management framework evolved, project success became more and more difficult. This article examines the impact of communication and employee motivation on the success of the project and evaluates the impact on the software development business. Even though there is a considerable amount of research being conducted on project success, the communication and employee motivation attribute still lack research, especially in the field of software development. The data gathered through this research were empirically tested using SPSS, and a significant relationship was observed between the dependent and the independent variables. It was found out that communication and employee motivation indeed play a role in the success of the project. It is crucial to train employees in an agile framework and keep on motivating them so that they can deal with the continuous changes. The results of this research indicated that organizations should implement a proper communication channel between the customers and the development team. Furthermore, the more the employees are motivated, the more chances the project will have on success, making the business profitable.
