Abstract. The notion of success is unsubstantial, complex and domain-specific. Software companies have been exploring its different aspects and aiming to put forward measures to capture and evaluate them. In this paper three main dimensions of success have been elicited based on previous industrial studies: project quality, project efficiency along with social factors and stakeholder's satisfaction. By investigation of their assessment criteria in commercial context a set of metrics and measures was determined and adapted to provide a structured evaluation approach for projects developed in academic setting. Professionalizing teaching and assessment process is an attempt to close a gap between workforce's expectations towards new graduates and the outcomes of their university education.
