The study is a case study focusing on Walia Technologies, an Addis Ababa based Technology Company. The study assessed the scope management practices of Walia Technologies by examining the activities and methods used to plan scope management, collect requirements, define scope, create work breakdown structure, validate scope and control scope. The study also assessed the scope change management practices of Walia Technologies and the performance of its projects. A descriptive research design was employed by the study. The study used census sampling techniques and data was collected from the entire population. A mix of both quantitative and qualitative approaches has been implemented. Primary data for the study was collected through questionnaires with project team members. The data collected from respondents was analyzed using data analytical software „statistical packages for social sciences‟ (SPSS). The findings of the study indicate that Walia Technologies carries out the tasks and activities of project scope management‟s six processes as outlined by project management institute‟s „A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge‟ in a fairly good manner though there is still room for improvement and that its weaker application of scope change management tasks and activities have resulted in its projects performance level to be weak when the dimensions to assess a project‟s performance are time dimension and completion of the project within the budget.
