Innovation encourages the organization to provide smart and unique services or products to users and customers to meet their needs and satisfaction. Success criteria and factors helps the organization to improve the possibility of having successful innovation project.

The researcher in this paper examine the relationship between factors and criteria. Quantitative method implemented to assess the proposed hypotheses and evaluate the impact of the selected criteria and factors on the innovation project’s outcome in term of success and failure over three federal entities in UAE. The outputs promote the idea that the government spends time and money to develop the innovation strategy to deliver the product/service on the specified time to meet the project objectives, customers, end-users and project stakeholders satisfaction. In addition, the support of top management to all department and team members will increase their satisfactions, which will lead to the successes of innovation projects. Also sharing the knowledge will strengthen the relationship between the team members and will cut-off the barriers which will reduce the time and cost spend to transfer the knowledge between project stockholders.
