| dc.description.abstract | Construction of high standard roads with the pre-defined quality and scheduled time is a very critical factor for the well-being of society, especially for third world countries like Ethiopia. Many building processes of infrastructures and other types of construction took a long time and excessive budgets that affect the economy in a negative way. With this trend, unfortunately urgent projects will appear on the spot which needs a huge amount of budget and respective resources. This study investigated the factors that affect the successful completion of urgently needed projects for roads constructed under the Addis Ababa City Road Authority. Besides this, some questions were answered using the collected data and performed analysis using MS Excel and SPSS. Characteristics of urgently needed projects, delaying factors, the contribution of stakeholders to the success of projects, and the way to implement good practices were briefly discussed. Data was collected using both primary and secondary resources around the subject matter. Previously written pieces of literature were examined to provide a concrete base to revolve around the concept. Different factors were collected for each case and a structured questionnaire was distributed to professionals in the project team. A total of 67 questionnaires were distributed and in the end, 65 valid responses were collected. Using interview and focus group discussion, vague ideas and answers were cleared prior to data analysis and discussion. The analysis showed a clear boundary between urgent and normal projects as urgent projects lack risk analysis, are absent from the annual plan, attract the attention of top management, and lack feasibility study with an unclear plan. Not only these but other characteristics of urgent projects were also discussed and ranked using the relative importance index. Similarly, major and critical delaying factors were grouped and evaluated with the help of responses from participants. Finally, the importance of project success factors was analyzed. Using literature and analysis of data it is concluded that, knowing the characteristics of urgently needed projects, decreasing the delaying factors, and implementing the success factors can be considered an irreplaceable way of success for urgently needed projects. Key words: Urgent projects, delaying factors, project success factors | |
