Abstract

Purpose: The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Agile Project Management (APM) in enhancing Supply Chain Management (SCM) performance within construction projects, specifically focusing on the unique challenges these projects face. Research design, data and methodology: The research question addresses how Agile Project Management (APM) can enhance efficiency, success rates, and stakeholder involvement in the Cargo Transshipment construction project. Data was collected through observations, structured interviews, and document reviews related to supply chain management activities within the project. The analysis utilized the Conforto framework and Likert scale measurements. Results: The research findings provide evidence that the implementation of Advanced Project Management (APM) brings about a substantial improvement in Supply Chain Management (SCM) and operational control within construction settings. This improvement leads to better adaptability and more favorable project outcomes in terms of meeting deadlines, ensuring quality, and managing costs effectively. Conclusions: The study concludes that Agile Project Management provides a robust framework for enhancing SCM in construction projects, suggesting a valuable shift towards more agile, efficient, and effective management practices in the construction industry. Future research should explore the scalability of APM in diverse construction settings to fully ascertain its broader applicability and benefits.
