Abstract
The purpose of the study is to describe the key planning skills which construction managers ought to possess and practice and correlate them with success of construction projects in Mogadishu, with a view of suggesting practical recommendations to enhance project success. In addition, the study intends to identify the strength and weaknesses of project managers in terms of planning skills and project success. It will also test the null hypotheses of no significant relationship between planning skills and project success. The study adopted a descriptive co relational, expost facto and a cross-sectional survey research design. The descriptive co-relational design was used to establish the relationship between managers’ planning skills and success of construction projects in Mogadishu, the expost facto design was used because respondents were requested to things that have already happened. The cross-sectional design was employed because; a cross-section of construction managers was selected to participate in the study all at once. It was a survey since many respondents were included in the answering of questionnaires. This study was set to find out the relationship between planning skills and project success among construction projects in Mogadishu-Somalia. Finally, this study contributed towards knowledge generation by revealing that having direct impacts on the project success, in terms of cost and schedule performance, will require a project planner to be equipped with enough knowledge on how to do it in pre project planning phase.
