dc.description.abstractThis investigation examined project management practices at Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL), headquartered in Accra. GWCL is the only water company in the ten regions of Ghana. It should also examine the success rate of projects of the company and identify the causes of the failure of the project in the company, project management tools and techniques used by the company, benefits associated with the use of project management tools and techniques and determine the obstacles with the use of project management tools and techniques. The method used to conduct this research was to gather information from engineers and managers who manage projects through questionnaires. The data collected was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and the correlation coefficient was used for data analysis. The main findings of the study showed that the project management processes were taken over by initiation, planning, implementation, monitoring and control and completion in the implementation of projects in GWCL. The application of project management tools and techniques to GCWL has gradually become an important issue when implementing projects of varying size and structure. The study has shown that using PM tools and techniques is an essential management approach that results in specific goals being met within specific time and budget limits by making the most of resources. In addition, the study found that there was a lack of in-depth knowledge of PM tools and techniques GWCL, and high costs of use were also observed by respondents. Among other things, the study recommended that PM tools and techniques be gradually applied, especially in old government institutions where resistance to change is perceived as high.en_US
