Abstract
This study aims to assess the Effect of Project Monitoring and Controlling Practice on Project
Success in the case of Ethiopian Airlines Digital PMO. To achieve the objective of the study
Explanatory and Descriptive research design were used. As a result the researcher mainly
deployed quantitative type of research design. Data for the assessment are obtained through five
point Likert scale based questionnaire from 43 selected respondents. Collected data was analyzed
by using descriptive analysis, correlation and regression analysis using SPSS version 20.0. The
results of the collected data shows that there is good project monitoring and controlling practice
in the organization, however relatively there is weak project change control process in the PMO.
Results also revealed that Pearson correlation between project documentation processes was a
moderate with project success, and Pearson correlation between project progress report process
and project change control process was a strong with project success. Regression results shows
that there was 60.7% of the change in project success was attributed to the combine effect of the
independent variables in the model (project progress report, change control and documentation).
The overall project Monitoring and Controlling process groups have strong impact on project
success, which means that high project monitoring and controlling had likely to generate higher
level of project success. To be more successful in projects, the study recommend that
organization must focus on project monitoring and controlling practice especially on the project
progress follow up and project change control area as they have significant impact on the project
success.
