dc.description.abstractThis study was undertaken to assess the effect of applying project management knowledge areas on the success of projects using GETfund projects in the Wa Municipality as a case study. The assessment of the success of the project was determined by using three indicators, which were cost, schedule and quality achievements and these indicators were used because they are broadly used in every sector in managing projects and is understood by different kinds of practitioners in various fields. In order to obtain data for analysis, survey questionnaires were drawn and distributed to project staffs of GETFund in the Wa Municipality. The data collected was used to assess the degree of significance of connecting several project management application areas in order to achieve better project performance in terms of cost, schedule and quality. Analysis of the effect of project management applications on the success of the projects was undertaken using descriptive data analysis and using social science package software version 20 to identify the correlation between the importance of applying project management applications and the success of the project. The major outcomes extracted from the study were that it was essential to connect the several project management applications to achieve greater success on a project. It was again made known that all the application areas of project management were important in achieving greater success on the project. However, the significance of the application areas are not the same with cost management having the highest significance and followed by scope management. The impact of the application areas in achieving the planned schedule was discovered to be lagging behind cost and quality performance. It was discovered that the use of project management application areas turn to have a positive effect on the success of the project and by so doing enhancing the success of the organization. The research gave further suggestions for enhancement of the use of project management application areas and also suggested that more project performance indicators should be developed in other studies. Lastly, suggestions were made on subjects for further research on the impact of project management application areas on the success of projects in all government project-oriented organizations in addition to GETFunden_US
