Tip on how to test the Critical Success Factors of a project: propose a small Change Order to enhance the project's success and see how the stakeholders and sponsors react.

Even if the proposed change is small, those who sign-off will rightly see this as a precedent for future Change Orders and will want to watch the details closely. This is good as it will reveal the emerging Critical Success Factors as balanced between the sponsors. From the results of that Change Order you will be able to prioritize the goals between time, cost, and quality. Don't be surprised if the CSF's change over time and adapt accordingly!
