| Summary: | Projects have grown in number and started to shape our society in the
past decades, thus, it arises an important point which is the way they
can be managed. Project management help organisations to achieve
their goals through a developed structure. Construction projects have
been using the traditional project management for a long time, yet the
level of uncertainty in the construction environment today and the
number of different sectors involved have changed. This has pointed to
a gap between the used project management method in construction
project and the way these projects are executed. In addition, the
demand of applying new methods has been increasing and giving the
for new project management approaches to be used.
The usage of agile project management approach, which is developed
mostly in the software industry, has rapidly increased over the past
years. It fits projects with high complexity where the end product is not
well-defined.
This dissertation has studied a comparison between the traditional
project management approach and the agile project management
approach in a construction project.
The main benefit of using the agile project management is to increase
customer satisfaction by involving them throughout the project. It
reduces the uncertainties within the project and aim for tracking the
project progress through a value driven approach. However, projects
may reach high level of quality after completion without the agile
approach but the time and cost will vary.
