This study aims to assessment the different practices of project management according to the methodology of the Professional Project Management Institute (PMBOK) By using “Project Management assessment Knowledge and experience Manual” Issued by Project Management Professional Institute. The Ministry of Construction, Housing and Municipalities / Municipal Sector was selected as the field of study. The results proved that there is a big failure in the Proficiency of project management practices in the ministry. These practices in the Ministry of Construction, Housing and Municipalities / Municipal Sector were classified as below the required level in terms of best practices. Finally, a number of recommendations were made to overcome possible shortcomings. The most important is the need for the government sector to implement its projects using standard processes according to the Knowledge Guide (PMBOK) because it is comprehensive and covers all areas of knowledge of project management which may contribute to a high success rate of projects.
