Abstract: Time management is considered an imperative aspect in the management of projects. It is one of the core knowledge areas and is related to scope and cost. Project time management aims at building processes that will be useful to the project manager to ensure the project team completes the project in time. The reputation of many organizations is damaged by delays in the delivery of projects and cost overruns. Projects are hardly completed without changes in scope; thus, the original baseline plan is always affected and in turn, affects the estimation of project delivery time. This leads to a discrepancy between the estimated time and the completion time. This study focused on project time management's influence on the performance of projects at the International Livestock Research Institute. Specifically, the study looked at Project Scope Management, Project Schedule Management, Funds management, and Project monitoring as components of Project time Management and how they influence the Performance of Projects. A descriptive survey design was adopted, and the target population included 171 projects across various programs like Animal and Human Health, Policies Institutions and Livelihood, Livestock Genetics, and Sustainable Livestock System where 120 project leaders were administered by questionnaires. The study used SPSS version 24 to analyze data. Both descriptive and inferential analyses were used. The study found that Project Scope Management, Project Schedule Management, Funds management, and Project monitoring as components of Project time Management significantly influenced the Performance of Livestock Projects at the International Livestock Research Institute. The four independent variables were also found to explain 64.5% of the change in performance of livestock projects at the International Livestock Research Institute. The study recommends effective implementation of project time management practices to ensure improvement of the performance of projects. The study further recommends a similar study be done in the public sector and other organizations dealing with projects. The results of the study will be useful to project managers, project consultants, project donors, and scholars.
