The study used SPSS and found that the regression analysis equation is success of agriculture projects = 1.005 + 3.114* communication skills, this implies that slope equals to 3.114, and this means if effectiveness of communication skills increased by one per cent, the success of the project also increased by 3.114.The study also used Pearson correlation coefficient and found that the coefficient r equals to 0.906.This leads to confirm that there is significant relationship between competencies of managers and success of agriculture projects. The study concluded that the difference between the success and failure of the project is often the difference between a project manager who is highly organized in planning and one who is not. The Study recommended that competencies of managers must not be coerced but rather, sensitized to the employees on the benefits of competencies of managers.
