Abstract Projects in Ethiopian Commercial Banks are directed towards serving customers more efficiently and effectively by reducing costs for the banking institution. The adoption process of experiencing rapid technological innovations actualized through vibrant information technology projects. However, a number of projects in the Ethiopian banking industry show that successful project implementation is a problem. The purpose of this article is to evaluate and analyze factors affecting the successful implementation of information technology projects in Ethiopian commercial banks specifically to examine the influence of project procurement management, to determine the influence of project scope management, to establish the influence of project management methodology, to examine the influence of Executive commitment, to determine the moderating effect of project risk on the factors that affect the implementation of IT projects in Ethiopian commercial banks. Mixed research approach with mixed research design was used in this article. The total numbers of respondents were selected using Simple random sampling technique and the sample size of the article was calculated using Yemane (1967) model and which was 205. Qualitative data was collected from project managers, IT Directors, Business managers by using an open-ended interview and also quantitative data was gathered by questionnaire comprised of 50 close-ended questions using Likert scale. Out of 205 questionnaires distributed, 190 questionnaires representing 92% were filled and collected. SPSS version 25 was used to facilitate data analysis. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to produce descriptive and inferential statistics. F-tests were employed to test the significance of the overall model while the significance of each specific variable was tested using T-test. The article showed that all the six project implementation factors namely Project procurement management, Project scope management, Project management methodology, Executive commitment, Adequate project cost estimation and budget and Project management and control capability positively influenced implementation of IT projects. However, Project procurement management and Project management methodology were found not to have a significant influence on implementation of IT projects. From the article findings, project risk was found not to have a significant moderating effect on the factors that affect the implementation of information technology projects by commercial banks in Ethiopia.
