Download PDF Taiye Eletu Issa and Emmanuel Aziegbe Akhigbe Abstract: This study investigated the relationship between Project Management Practices (PMP) and the project success of construction firms in Rivers State, Nigeria. This investigation utilised a cross-sectional survey and the population of the study consisted of 279 managers and supervisors from six distinct construction companies. However, a sample size of 162 employees was drawn. The simple random sampling was chosen because it ensures that all study sample items have an equal probability of being selected. Using Spearman's Rank Order Correlation Coefficient, the data were analysed. The results demonstrated a correlation between project management practice dimensions (project scope management and project cost management) and project success measurements (project quality and project timeliness). As a result, the study drew the conclusion that proper project scope management and project cost management should be a top focus for all construction companies seeking to increase project success within the sector. As a result, the study recommended that construction company management should ensure good cost management to prevent exceeding projected spending, as this will contribute to the success of the organisation.
