Corporate Environments

In times of digital transformation and dynamic change in corporate environments, the importance of agile project management is growing. This further affects the demand on change management and its contribution to project success. We conduct interviews with project participants of an agile project to identify the associated need for adaptation of change management. Change management criteria have to be adjusted, particularly in areas of communication and stakeholder management and integration into agile project management methods. Personal communication, individual stakeholder management, and participation are starting points for adapting and integrating change management into agile project management.

The Cost

The avoidance of failure in construction projects is not an easy task, which makes the failure of the construction project to achieve its objectives a major problem experienced by all countries in the world, especially Iraq. Where nearly two-thirds of the construction projects in the world have been suffered by significant problems as an increase in the cost of the project, delay in the specified duration for execution, and stopping the project. Therefore it is required to study and apply new methods for managing the construction project to ensure its success and achieve its objectives. The aim of this study is to study the Agile project management method and its impact on the construction project. In addition, to identify the values and principles of Agile project management, which can be applied in the Iraqi construction industry to be adopted it as a new method to manage the construction projects in Iraq. The researcher reviewed the relevant literature to define the method of Agile project management and its methods and impact on the construction project. Then, the researcher conducted a questionnaire survey of a sample of engineers' experts who work in four main parties in the construction project: (beneficiary, supervising, designer, and contractor). The results of this survey showed that it is possible to apply the four values of Agile project management for managing the Iraqi construction projects, and can apply eleven of the twelve principles of Agile project management for managing the Iraqi construction projects.

The Individual

Persistent failure of construction projects to meet clients’ objectives has compelled a review of the extant systems for project delivery. This study assessed the prospect of adopting Agile Project Management (APM) for construction project delivery in Lagos State. To achieve this, the study examined the level of awareness of APM among construction stakeholders and developed a SWOT model for the adoption of APM technique for construction projects. The research adopted survey method using questionnaire. The study sample involved 196 construction stakeholders. Data obtained were analysed using Mean Score and Fussy Set Theory. The result showed that stakeholders’ level of awareness about the individual methodologies of APM is high. There are also weighty strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in the adoption of APM in construction project delivery. The level of awareness among stakeholders portrays high prospects for APM adoption. However, there is need to embed trust, cooperation and improved team performance.

There are a lot of project planning (like Gantt chart (Gant, 1910)) and network-based scheduling methods (like CPM, PDM, GERT (see i.e. Kelley-Walker, 1959, Pritsker 1966)), they were developed for handling traditional (e.g. construction) projects. While these methods are appropriate for the operation level - logic planning, scheduling, cost and resource allocation - of traditional project managemet, these methods can hardly be used for agile and extreme project management. Network-based methods focus on operation level, while for strategic decisions other methods should be used. Matrix-based methods can be used for planning agile methods (see Kosztyán-Kiss 2010-2013), however these methods also focused on operation level. This paper introduces an improved matrix-based method, the extended Multilevel Project Expert Matrix (xMPEM) method. This method can be used not only for operation, but strategic level of project management, where typical strategic questions arise e.g. which subprojects/tasks should be completed, how to treat priorities of completion in case of defining logic planning, how to support not only traditional but agile project management approaches. In this paper a multilevel genetic algorithm (MLGA) will be specified in order to determine possible project scenarios and possible project structures. The introduced xMPEM and MLGA methods can serve as the connection between operation and the strategic level of the project management. Key words: Project Expert System, matrix-based project planning methods, multilevel project planning.

Project Lifecycle

In project management there has been a shift from traditional project management to the Agile Project Management (APM) style. The proposed Agile Quality Management Framework in Construction Projects will be built as a sequence of procedure that deals with a project from primary vision of project to the final delivery of project, will trace alignment and discover a contact between Agile and Traditional Project Management (TPM) concepts and find contact points among two of the more used Agile frameworks (scrum) and one of the more confirmed Project Management framework (PMBOK®) processes. This will result in a recognition of comparable areas between scrum and PMBOK® processes. Agile quality Management Framework is a new agile framework that covers the whole project lifecycle. The goal of the framework is to assist the project managers to adapt a more flexible approach to managing and implementing the construction project. The findings arrive that the agile project management using the Scrum methodology profits effectiveness procedures and a lower duration of process, ensuring value of quality planning and control inputs.

The construction industry is dynamic in nature because it involves a wide number of stakeholders, such as consumers, manufacturers, consultants, regulators and others. Construction projects suffer from many challenges and complex performance issues, such as low coordination, job delays, changes in goals. Study on the contrast of conventional and modern methodologies for project management in construction projects. Introduction of Agile project management approach as modern project management methodology and its framework effects on construction project performance. With the use of Agile software development tools comparison of individuals experts and team solutions will be analyzed and evaluate optimum solutions and their comparison with traditional project management tools. In traditional project management, validation of the results has been done through survey of the experienced experts. However, as agile software development tools Jira and Trello software would be used for managing project. Analysis of the research will compare traditional and agile project management tools and suggest the project management team an optimum solution of any problem occur at construction project.

The international experience of integrating building information modeling (BIM) into project management system with innovation implementation accent has been revealed in this article. The events carried out on federal and regional levels concerning the President of Russia directive on building construction industry modernization and construction objects transferring to life cycle management by means of BIM were analyzed. The large company experience of implementing BIM was summarized with describing some examples in different cities and regions of our country and thus the main directions of this technology development were determined. The key points of BIM and project management system pairing and impacting an innovation choice witch determine the project economic efficiency in the integrated management system were shown. The main reports of "Building construction projects technology and management: new practices and prospects" conference by Moscow Trade and Commerce Chamber were reviewed in this direction and problems of the new investment and construction project management technology implementation were shown. The ways to solve these problems were disclosed by work examples of PAO "Sberbank", and successfully working in our country firms Bilfinger Tebodin - BIM design and Beiten Burkhard -jurisdiction support. Some economic efficiency questions of BIM implementation were disclosed in the report delivered by The Plekhanov University of Economics (project and program management base department of Capital Group). Management system suggestions, regarding BIM implementation in Moscow construction were given.
