Systemic risk factors might hinder the successful implementation of such critical digital ventures. This paper analyzes the impact of project risk management (PRM) processes on the successful implementation of the CBE Beje project, including risk identification, risk assessment, risk mitigation, and risk monitoring. A quantitative approach was adopted for this study, and data were gathered from various project stakeholders via structured questionnaires. Out of the 398 distributed questionnaires, 300 responses were deemed valid and were analyzed in the end. Among the many statistical approaches utilized in this paper for analyzing the gathered information is multiple regression analysis in SPSS.According to the findings, there is a significant and positive relationship between the four PRM constructs and project success. Based on the regression analysis, a value of R squared at 0.727 indicates that the risk management practices analyzed explain roughly 72.7% of variance in the success of the CBE Beje project completion. Out of all the variables in this case, the practice of risk mitigation proves to be the most influential predictor of project success. This study highlights the significance of proactively managing risks in the context of moving toward digitalization in the banking industry. It is important for CBE to improve its risk management systems at project level.en-USProject Risk ManagementCBE BejeDigital Loan PlatformProject SuccessR-SquareCommercial Bank of Ethiopia.Thesis
