    <subfield code="a">&lt;p&gt;This study examines the impact of time management practices on project success at Golis Telecom, with a focus on five core objectives: assessing the effects of project planning and scheduling, evaluating task prioritization, analyzing the accuracy of time estimation, investigating the use of time management tools and software, and exploring the role of time monitoring and control practices. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining primary data from a survey of 280 employees including five key informants with secondary data sources. Analytical techniques such as multiple linear regression, descriptive statistics, and Spearman correlation were applied to explore the relationship between time management practices and project success. The findings revealed significant dissatisfaction with overall project outcomes. Many projects faced schedule delays; over half of the respondents reported negative perceptions regarding budget compliance, and concerns were raised about meeting quality standards and stakeholder expectations. Planning and scheduling practices received mixed reviews, largely due to inconsistent use of tools like Gantt charts and skepticism about the feasibility of deadlines. Task prioritization was another area of concern, with many respondents citing the absence of structured frameworks, leading to inefficiencies. Time estimation practices garnered moderate confidence, although there was limited use of historical data and expert judgment. Despite the availability of time management tools and software, these were widely viewed as underutilized and ineffective. Time monitoring and control mechanisms were regularly implemented but often delayed in taking corrective actions. Inferential analysis indicated that project planning and scheduling (B = 0.478, p = 0.000) and time monitoring and control practices (B = 0.424, p = 0.000) had the strongest positive effects on project success. Task prioritization (B = 0.269, p = 0.001) was moderately significant, while time estimation accuracy (B = 0.092, p = 0.101) did not show statistical significance. Interestingly, time management tools and software (B = -0.124, p = 0.027) exhibited a negative impact, suggesting ineffective implementation. Correlation analysis supported these findings, showing strong positive associations between project success and task prioritization (&amp;rho; = 0.963), as well as time monitoring and control (&amp;rho; = 0.927). Project planning and scheduling (&amp;rho; = 0.871) and time estimation (&amp;rho; = 0.799) demonstrated moderate to strong correlations, whereas management tools (&amp;rho; = 0.641) lacked statistical significance. In conclusion, effective time management practices particularly in the areas of planning, prioritization, and monitoring are critical to achieving project success at Golis Telecom. However, inconsistent application of tools, weak estimation methods, and insufficient monitoring mechanisms continue to undermine performance. To address these challenges, the study recommends standardizing planning and scheduling procedures, enhancing training in time management tools (such as Gantt charts), and establishing structured frameworks for task prioritization. Implementing these strategies is essential to improving project outcomes, especially within the operational constraints of Garowe.&lt;/p&gt;</subfield>
