I. INTRODUCTION
Projects can be considered as a set of activities that must be completed in accordance to specific objectives which involve the utilization of a company’s resources (Schultz, Slevin & Pinto, 2011). According to Pinto (2013) the project management practices are those fundamental issues inherent in the project, which must be maintained in order for team work to take place in an efficient and effective manner. They require day to day attention and operate through the life of the project. Project management success focuses upon project process and in particular the successful accomplishment of cost, time and quality objectives. It also considers the manner in which the management process was conducted.
