Assessment Of Project Management Critical Success Factors In Addis Ababa Integrated Housing Development Project Office

There is empirical evidence that project sphere has not been valued appropriately in manyrnorganizations because it seems certain that the organization’s projects are not unified andrnconsequently spread across several other spheres. However, it is necessary to know the conceptrnof project and project management at the same time are made magnificent in increasingly projectorientedrnorganizations in order to achieve the organizational goals. This study aimed at a betterrnunderstanding of when and why projects fail or succeed as well as what project managementrnfactors are influential. Therefore, an empirical assessment on this topic was performed. Althoughrnmany studies have explored success/failure factors in projects, a few of them are comprised of thernperception that to what extent project’s success or failure factors are noteworthy and likewisernwhat really are a successful project and/or a failure project. The study doesn’t consider thernprojects themselves, rather how the office is managing them. Therefore, the rationale of the thesisrnwas on identifying those critical project management practices. As observed from the research,rnthe top management support, project mission, planning, client involvement, trouble shooting,rnclient acceptance, monitoring and feedback and communication are relevant to the office’srnmanagement practice and have strong association given the current project management practicernand performance measurement criteria are traditional in nature. The study was done with a mixedrnresearch design and the respondents were selected from the main office of Addis Ababa IntegratedrnHousing Development project office. Both the descriptive statistics and the statistical correlationalrnanalysis results shown that the factors identified from literatures were understood and applied byrnthe office to some extent. The gap was seen from understanding the project goal through troublernshooting issues. The result shown that there is strong association within and across variables. Thernpattern and structure matrix figure were utilized to select the top five critical factors. Accordingly,rntop management support, personnel, technical tasks, monitoring and feedback and communicationrnwere selected as the top five critical factors in the project office.
