Abstract
This study was intended to assess the impact of project planning on project success in the case of the 6000 Solar Direct Drive cold chain equipment project in Ethiopia. Hence, the data were
collected by a structured questionnaire from respondents and were analyzed quantitatively. The specific objective of this study was to assess the impact of scope planning, resource planning,
schedule planning, quality planning, and risk management planning on project success. Although research on the importance of planning on project success has been done, in general, this paper comprehensively assessed the impact of these five planning processes on project success. The methodological approach involved a survey of 30 respondents who were people who have a significant connection with the project using a judgmental sampling technique. The primary data was gathered through a structured questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential analyses were conducted using SPSS version 26. The finding of this study revealed that the planning processes significantly correlate with project success. Furthermore, scope planning and quality planning were found to have high significance with a beta value of 0.209 and 0.237 respectively. Lastly, this study recommends project personnel put in more effort in the planning stage and utilize these planning processes thoroughly to achieve project success. Further future studies addressing project planning from a wider perspective are also recommended.
