Agile prototyping in construction and project management

Abstract

The Agile Prototyping model represents a new approach to Project, Program, and Portfolio Management (PPM). Using agile methodologies such as prototyping can help project teams to identify potential issues and make changes early in the process, improving project outcomes. Agile prototyping involves creating a functional prototype or model of the project in an iterative and incremental way, allowing the team to test and refine the design before construction begins. This article aims to explore the benefits and challenges of using agile prototyping in construction especially in the scope of Project Management.

The primary objective of the agile prototyping model is to enable companies to provide value to their clients more frequently, respond swiftly to changes, and ultimately enhance their business performance. This methodology is particularly useful for breaking down complex projects into manageable tasks and completing them in short iterations throughout the project life cycle, which encompasses all phases from the initiation to the completion of the project.
