In some respects yes but if you look at it in another way it drove natives out.

No i do not believe it was a success as many Native Indians were killed as a result of 'imported' diseases such as measles and also lost their homes due to greedy people wanting money. Also the Grand Carajas programme built a railway through Gavioes Indian Reserve against their wishes, causing further dispute amongst the natives living there.

What is the Carajas scheme?
The Carajas Plan is the largest iron ore mine in the world employing over 7,000 people. The ore is very rich in iron, containing 66% metal. The area is one tenth of Brazil and is estimated to hold enough reserves to carry on mining for the next 400 years. The mine is one of scores of hydropower, agricultural, and road projects that are increasingly removing the world's largest rainforest, and relies on overseas markets to purchase much of its iron ore. The project required a massive investment of cash. Therefore, the World Bank agreed to invest money towards the project, on the condition that the area of rainforest cut down was limited to 10 kilometres each side of the railway cutting through the area to minimize deforestation. For the project however, this turned out to be insufficient. A settlement for workers was necessary, as well as transport links and a power source (hydro-electric power). 'Boom towns' outside the official Carajas scheme had started up initially due to a gold rush. Once the rush was over however, people remained in these developing towns as they thought that they could provide a service, like fishing or selling fruit by working in Carajas. Over 70,000 people had settled into nearby towns to make money. Factories, using wood or fuel as a resource, have been smelting ore along the railway line. To upkeep the production of iron, extra transport links needed to be built. As the project developed, more and more of the rainforest was becoming deforested. Even though money was being made, the scheme had not come to terms with the agreement with their investors. The project stated that they were not to blame for the developing towns outside the official Carajas scheme and therefore should not be the ones to accuse for the increase in deforestation.
What is the carajas project?
12 facts about the Carajas Project 1. The Carajas is an open pit mine where minerals are removed from the surface one layer at a time 2. The Carajas mine is one of the world's largest deposits of iron ore. It stretches across more than six miles of rainforest in the northeastern Brazil 3. In 2007, 296 million metric tons of iron ore were dug out of the mine, which is estimated to contain a total of 18 billion tons of iron ore, gold, manganese, copper, and nickel 4. The mine is one of scores of mining, hydropower, agricultural, and road projects that are increasingly removing the world's largest rainforest 5. The area is estimated to hold enough reserves to carry on mining for the next 400 years 6. Most of the ore is taken 690km from the mine to the port of Sao Luis on the Atlantic coast by rail 7. It is exported to countries such as Japan, Korea and Germany. The remainder is used in Brazilian steelworks. These provide finished steel for the home market 8. The project has aimed to restrict the numbers of trees being demolished in the rainforest and has only cut down trees on 1.6% of the area it occupies 9. The Carajas mine depends on overseas markets to purchase much of its iron ore 10. To the north-west of Carajas, on the south bank of the River Amazon, is the large bauxite mine, (used for making aluminum) at Trombetas 11. Mining and refining these valuable metals need large amounts of electricity which has therefore been provided by the Tucurui HEP 12. Building the railway to Sao Luis caused further dispute amongst the natives living there
What does it mean to evaluate a project?
It means to determine the quality or success of the project. You should look at how the project was undertaken and note the things that made it successful and any areas that could have been improved upon.
What project did Roger Corbett introduce at Woolworths?
Central to Corbett's success at Woolworths had been Project Refresh, a business strategy he introduced six months after taking over as CEO in January 1999
What are some important post mortem project questions to consider for evaluating the success and areas of improvement in a completed project?
Some important post mortem project questions to consider for evaluating the success and areas of improvement in a completed project include: What were the project's original goals and objectives, and were they achieved? What were the key successes and accomplishments of the project? What were the major challenges and obstacles faced during the project? How effectively was the project managed in terms of budget, timeline, and resources? What lessons were learned from the project that can be applied to future projects? How well did the project meet the needs and expectations of stakeholders? What areas of the project could have been improved or done differently? What feedback was received from team members and stakeholders about the project? What recommendations can be made for future projects based on the outcomes of this project? Overall, how would you rate the success of the project and what improvements can be made for future projects?
On what basis would you determine the success or failure of the project?
Before we begin closing the project, we need to ensure that all the project deliverables have been successfully delivered to the customer. This is done by the Verifying Scope process. Verifying scope is the process of formally accepting the completed project deliverables. Before you hand over the project deliverables to the appropriate party mentioned in the project management plan, such as the customer or the sponsor, you need to verify that these deliverables actually meet the planned scope. So, verifying the scope of the project deliverables includes reviewing deliverables to ensure that all of them are completed as planned and therefore as expected. If the verify scope phase is a success we can say that the project was a success.
Identify questions she may ask while she attempts to clarify the purpose of the project?
Why are you opposed to the project? Have any needs been overlooked? Why is this project being done? Are you committed to the success of this project? Is there anything else that should be addressed? What can I do to raise the priority of this project?
Why has the Yellowstone wolf project been considered a success?
The Yellowstone Wolf Project has been considered a success primarily due to its positive ecological impact and the restoration of natural balance in the park's ecosystem. The reintroduction of wolves in 1995 helped control the elk population, which in turn allowed vegetation and other wildlife to thrive, enhancing biodiversity. Additionally, the project has provided valuable insights into predator-prey dynamics and has fostered public interest in conservation efforts. Overall, the project has demonstrated the importance of apex predators in maintaining healthy ecosystems.
What does criteria for success mean?
Criteria for success refers to the specific standards or benchmarks that define what constitutes a successful outcome for a project, task, or goal. These criteria outline the measurable results, performance targets, or objectives that need to be achieved in order to determine if the project or task has been successful. It provides a clear framework for evaluation and ensures that all stakeholders are aligned on what success looks like.
What are Information Technology success and failure factors?
Although the causes for information technology (IT) project success and failure have been the subject of many studies, there has been relatively little attention given to how individuals attribute IT project success and failure. The purpose of this research is to determine how project managers attribute IT project success and failure. A questionnaire form was designed for study in this research and mailed to the 500 major manufacturing enterprises, ranked with respect to their sales from production in the year 2006, published by Istanbul Chamber of Industry. The questionnaire consists of three sections. The background information section addresses issues such as respondentpsilas gender, age band, main job responsibility, the length of employment time; and organizationpsilas type, estimated annual turnover, number of employees, etc. The project failure section addresses issues such as involvement of the respondent, size and importance of the project, project failure reasons such as going over budget, going over time allocated, having no great organizational benefits, having low user satisfaction, etc. The project success section addresses issues such as involvement of the respondent, size, and importance of the project. Project success reasons such as staying within budget, staying within time allocated, having great organizational benefits, having high user satisfaction, etc. are studied.

What is success criteria?
Success criteria are specific and measurable goals that define what success looks like for a particular project, task, or objective. They help outline the expected outcomes and provide a clear framework for evaluating whether the goal has been achieved. Success criteria should be agreed upon by all stakeholders and serve as a guide for assessing progress and performance.
