In an effort to address the outlined problem above mentioned, the research adopted a quantitative approach in which population of this study was identified as personnel working on Hwange Expansion Project, both technical and non-technical and a sample was drawn from this population. Stratified random sampling method was used to select respondents to a pilot tested structured questionnaire with the assistance of the researcher in some instances. The data responses from these questionnaires were then analyzed using data analysis methods such as regression analysis and correlation analysis into findings that were used for further analysis, interrogation and recommendations. Conclusions were deduced from these findings leading to the formulation of recommendations. The study recommended that the key stakeholders should consider Material Availability, Project Funding, Technological Transfer and Employee Motivation as key to projects success.
