Abstract
This study was planned to assess the project implementation planning practice of Amhara Bank
formation project. The study adopted Qualitative research method to answer the research
questions raised and the problem stated. Primary data was collected from 10 key informants using
deep interview, and secondary data was obtained from planning documents, prospectus document,
project’s periodic reports and different publications about the project. The data collected were
analyzed qualitatively using thematic and content analysis methods. The findings of the study
indicated that all processes of the project implementation planning were well-practiced except the
project communication planning. The challenges faced during implementation planning were
time management, difficulty to determine budget, difficulty to identify possible risks, conflict of
interest between the organizers and so forth. The initiative of the bank organizing team to serve
freely for the project, the name of the bank and the government initiative to liberalize the financial
sector became opportunities for the project. The findings of the study will help the project office,
the bank organizing team, the bank’s future board and management, policy makers, and future
researchers by providing direction and recommendation for the research questions.
