The coefficient R of 0.815 indicated a strong positive correlation between project planning practices and project performance. The R-squared of 0.665 indicated that, approximately 66.5% of the variation in project performance can be explained by the predictors of risk planning and scope planning. Thus, the regression model using the predictors (scope planning and risk planning) showed a strong positive relationship with King Faisal Maternity Ward Project Implementation performance in Gasabo District. The unstandardized coefficient of β =0.620 indicated that one-unit increase in King Faisal Maternity Ward Project Implementation performance in Gasabo District is associated with 0.620 increase in scope planning. Similarly, the unstandardized coefficient of β= 0.255 indicated that one-unit increase in King Faisal Maternity Ward Project Implementation performance in Gasabo District is associated with 0.255 increase in risk planning. Both the p-values, 0.006< 0.05 and 0.000<0.05 indicated that these relationships are statistically significant. The study recommended prioritizing comprehensive scope and risk planning, ongoing training for project teams, and investing in project managers’ capacity building for effective project outcomes.
