Abstract
Project integration management is a component of project management that focuses on the individual procedures during the execution of a process. Project integration managers coordinate plans and help ensure that all processes within a project run efficiently and that team members stay on track toward their final goals. Integration Management is the practice of making certain every part of the project is coordinated. The main objective of this study is to assess the effect of project integration management process on project success in the case of Berhan Bank Data Center Project. The study considered major project integration management process i.e. project initiation, project planning, project execution, monitoring and control and project closure; and focused on their ultimate contribution to the project success of the data center project in Berhan Bank. To achieve the main objective of the research, a mixed methods approach is used. To analyze the data collected, both quantitative and qualitative data analysis method is used. For semi-structured interview qualitative method is used; and for the questioner quantitative analysis method is employed. The result of the study indicates a positive and significant association between Project Initiation, Project Planning, Project Execution, Monitoring and Control and Project Closure on project success of the data center project which implies the increase in Project Initiation, Project Planning, Project Execution, Monitoring and Control and Project Closure inevitably increases in the project success of the data center project. The result of this research will create awareness among IT project managers of Berhan Bank about project integration management processes and activities that contribute to project success, and how the project managers are able to handle projects more effectively to increases the rate of project success in the future.
