However, the design and implementation management practice of these projects in financial institutions face numerous challenges that hinder their success.

A descriptive type of study is used to evaluate the practices of project design, project implementation &related PM knowledge areas and the management support practice. A census sampling technique is used to gather primary data using a web based questionnaire instrument. The collected data is analysed with SPSS version 26 statistical software. Mean and standard deviation is used to calculate the data obtained. According to the findings, activity durations are not well estimated, the initial schedule is not maintained, effective sequencing tool was not used, cost estimation is not appropriate, information needs of each stakeholders is not satisfied, project team is not established, risks was not timely addressed and monitored, Project activities were not completed effectively and top managements were appeared to be inefficient at committing resource.
