How do you measure your own success as a project manager?

"I can speak to my own success measures at a very high level. In terms of the financial success of projects, I keep off-track tasks, do-overs, and scope creep items to a minimum. On the qualitative side, I look at other factors that may impact the overall success of the project, such as the morale of everyone working on the project. Second, one of my key metrics is keeping my customers happy, whether they're internal or external. For external customers, a regularly scheduled qualitative survey usually works. For internal customers, it's usually a continual feedback process between me and stakeholders, as well as between me and task owners. Ultimately, when I'm tasked to manage more challenging or complex projects, that means I've been doing my job well."
