Influence of project management practices on performance of telecommunication projects a case study of Golis Telecommunication Somalia

Despite the government's best attempts to make money more readily available for development purposes, a growing number of telecommunications projects in Somalia have failed. The performance of the majority of projects in Somalia fails to fulfill the intended objectives based on the indicators of time, quality, and cost. The objective of this research is to investigate the influence of project management practices on performance of projects of telecommunications. A case study of Golis Telecommunication Somalia. The objective of this research is to evaluate the impact of stakeholder participation, project risk management, project planning and monitoring and evaluation practices on the performance of telecommunications projects. Throughout the course of this inquiry, an array of theoretical frameworks were examined, including the stakeholder theory, the prospect theory, the contingency theory, the realistic assessment theory, and the resource- based viewpoint theory. Our study area was in Somalia. The study adopted descriptive design. The target population in the research consisted of 214 staff members from Golia limited. The use of Slovene's formula was used to arrive at 139. The method of sampling that was used for the research is stratified random sampling, and participants were selected at random from each stratum. Using a method called simple random sampling, the researcher was chosen Golia restricted participants at random from among each set of employees. Construct and content validity were employed in the analysis. Cronbach's Alpha was used to show that the research instruments were consistent internally, thereby establishing their reliability. The study used semi structured questionnaires. Descriptive statistical analysis was presented in frequency, mean, percentages as well as standard deviation. It was found out that management techniques have an effect on how well projects turn out. Additionally, Golis Telecommunication Somalia's project outcomes are somewhat impacted by the company's stakeholder involvement strategies. Project risk management practices influence performance of projects at moderate extent. Project planning practices influence performance of projects at moderate extent. The impact of M&E processes on project success is around average. According to the findings, businesses should establish policies that actively include employees in project planning. There is a chance that the Goliath firm may increase its project completion rate if it adopted strategies to better organize project operations and create schedules connected to project deliverables. The study recommends that project management practices should encourage collective pride in completed work. Indirect and direct users alike should reap the benefits of the project's completion. Users should be able to do this at any point in the project's execution.
