Agile Approach In Construction Case Study

3. Analysis and discussion

The agile approach is based on the idea that change can be of value to the client. The details of the project, the scope of it, are defined as far as value for the client is known. This makes the delivery of value to happen in a short time. And by receiving constant feedback, project progress will be achieved. This will lead to having a result that satisfies the client and not a result that will satisfy what was specified at the beginning of the project. To be able to see these changes as something positive and of value to the client, a more proactive organization is required (Owen, Koskela, Henrich, & Codinhoto, 2006).

Particularly, the construction industry has shown a lot of difficulties to be able to cope with the increasing complexity of projects, there’s need to be a change from the traditional approach to deal with future challenges and requirements (Cooke-Davies, Cicmil, Crawford, & Richardson, 2008). Each building constructions just happens once, in other words, there doesn’t exist the same situation

If the client is constantly involved and able to make changes to the project while this grows, this will lead to more successful projects. Is very difficult at first to start a project from s specific vision, and plan how to get there with specific details. We could estimate but it is impossible to predict what will happen in the future. The larger the goal, the more difficult it will get to plan a route to it. The agile approach facilitates this process and creates a link between the vision and the goal with the solutions for the project during its progress. This puts more responsibility on the client as they need to dedicate more time and resources to the project. The theory explains how important is the client involvement so they can have the possibility to make changes to the project and have it fit their
