  • Determinants of project management methodologies and its effects on project success in Ghana–A conceptual paper


Ivy Hawah Taana, Valliappan Raju

Abstract

Project Management (PM) has become popular as an important management concept driving the economic development agenda of nations and corporate organizations using it to successfully drive their business objectives. As a result, it is quite worrying for a country like Ghana or an organization to adopt these important concepts in the Project Management Methodology (PMM) and still register a high level of project failure. This study aims to look at the factors of project management methodologies that are more likely to lead to project success in Ghana. The work is underpinned by the Capability Maturity Model and extant literature to know the factors of project management methodologies that are likely to lead to project success in Ghana. This conceptual framework requires future work that requires the collection of empirical data subjected to descriptive and inferential statistics through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to validate the model. The researchers thus proposed a model that can be used to assess the success of projects in Ghana with empirical data.
