Toward successful project implementation: Integration between project management processes and project risk management

This study aims to identify the primary aspects contributing to the project’s successful implementation by considering project risk management as a mediating component. The paper uses the survey methodology to examine the impact of project management processes (project start-up, planning, execution, monitoring and control, and closing the project) on successful project implementation by the arts of project risk management as a mediating variable. The study population consists of project managers employed by the Jordan Engineers Association, Jordan Construction Contractors Association, and King Abdullah Design and Development Bureau in Jordan, with a sample size of 96 project managers. A questionnaire was divided into three categories. The primary data were analyzed using the Partial Least Squares (3.3.3) software. The result shows that the arts of project risk management mediate the impact of project start-up, planning, execution, monitoring and control, closing, and management processes on successful project implementation. The findings recommend that integrated project management processes with project risk management could enhance the chances of successful project implementation for Jordanian project managers.
