Ask yourself about one specific project that you completed. Was the project finished on time and on budget? Were the objectives of project met (did you get what want? did the customer say so)? Did you have to take short-cuts in order to finish on-time and on-budget?
P.S.
a) A customer for a project is a metaphorical term. It means the recipient of the benefits derived from finishing the project. It also normally means somebody other than yourself. It could be your supervisor, your co-worker, the government, the lady down the street, etc.
b) integrity and lawfulness: A short-cut here means "cutting corners," such as ignoring an aspect of the objectives; re-defining the objectives of the project without Customer's consent or knowledge; taking funds assigned to another project and using them in this project, without officially doing the fund transfer and permission; hiding expenses in another account; pocketing some project funds by reporting more hours worked than actual or recording phantom workers; etc. "Cutting corners" means the gray area (at best), but "work-arounds" are legit.
c) effectiveness and outcomes are mostly objectively measured by schedule and budget, planned versus actual. Sometimes, you can also add Customer's satisfaction (via a survey) and supervisor's assessment; recognition; awards.
d) timeliness = on-schedule
e) reasonableness: have you honestly tried your best effort to explore possible work-arounds to overcome problems? Have you asked for help when needed? Mostly assessed by another person, such as your supervisor and Customer.
