This research is a perceptional study which employed a quantitative approach. It examined the research critical success factors (CSFs) which by design were grouped into four categories namely; management of project factors; resource availability factors; execution methodology factors; and out of project management control factors.(based on Pinto and Slevin, 1987: Baker et al., 1988; Shenhar et. al., 2001; Cooke-Davies, T. 2002; Matta & Ashkenas, 2003; Judgev & Muller, 2005; Ika, 2009; Amponsah & Darmoe, 2014; Project Implementation Profile CSFs).
