To ensure the success of projects, project manager must have the requisite knowledge of project management. Factors including tasks management, schedule management, planning activities and managing human resource were identified by Ramesh, Ramesh and Ramchandar (2018) as factors of the project management. While there remains a gap in the literature with respect to understanding the impact of factors of project management on project success. In order to fill this gap, the current study investigates the impact of the project management on project success in Pakistan. Descriptive research was used where a sample of 58 individuals were chosen from the 5 major construction companies in Pakistan. The results of the study revealed that all the factors of project management were having significant impact on project success, while planning activities were having more contribution on project success. the current study recommends that the managers should considered the management of the project in a proper way. Similarly, not only the management of the accounts and costs etc. should be management but the managers are recommended to consider the management of the human resource, planning activities and schedule etc.
