The success of a project would normally be
measured by the extent to which the predetermined targets set by
the Client have been met, whether it performs the function it was
intended to meet satisfactorily and if it solves an identified
problem within the stipulated time, cost and quality standards.
To meet the objectives, the project will require effective planning
control through the application of project management systems
(Muchungu,2012). Developed economies have made use of
project management in meeting the stated objectives. For an
effective project management to apply; developed economies
have made use of project management modelling to enable track
and monitor project performance.
There is need for developing economies to emulate the
approaches of developed economies. Problems identified with
the existing models prompted a discussion on the need to
reconfigure the measurement process and the measures used.
For this to be achieved, it is imperative that causes of project
management failures be identified, analyzed, and or solutions or
the way forward suggested.
This paper therefore critically analyses the causes of project
management failures in Kenya. A survey approach was used on a
sample size of 500 members of which 312 members were
responsive. The response rate was 62.4%.
