----------------------------------------------***---------------------------------------------In 2001 the agile manifesto for software development happens and it evolved it’s routes in the software development industry. After that the progress of Information and technology sector is being goes increasing day by day. Hence all the efforts that made by the leaders is comes into existence from that time due to agile project management. But amongst all that the footprints of agile project management methodology must be planted in the other industries too, to replace the lean and waterfall method of traditional nature. After the success of agile methodology in software development industry, leaders are introducing this method to the another industries such as in manufacturing and in construction industries too.
Abstract -
The project management in construction industry in India mostly deals with the lean methods that are traditionally came as a successive dissipation generation wisely. Similar condition of the construction sector in minor contracts in railways and military sectors is observed in everywhere. There must be the need of change of the implementation method in this contracts sector to reduce the corruption and delay related all issues. In this paper the idea of introducing agile construction management is exemplified with old and reputed railway and military construction contractor company in india. The M/S Bhirud Electric Stores is the name of the contractor firm company that is being considered while doing this study.
Keyword – Agile, Project, Management, Contractor.
2. What is Agile Project Management –
Construction,
The meaning of agile is to be able to move flexibly. This similar concept is being used in the agile project management method. In agile methodologies it implies that problems must be solve in the iterative approach along with having the flexible ability to the changing environment in any how situation. Interaction with individuals and direct collaboration with the with the customer is considered as the major priority for the project. Weaknesses for the project must be identified before it’s implementation and root cause analysis of the project must be done to solve the problems. Softwares must be used to respond the constantly changing plans. The organization must be stand firm in the constantly unpredictable business environment. Agility is not a skill or method but it is a state of mind that must be kept while thriving on a execution of project. It focusses on the constant training and improvement of the engineers and labours. Dividing process in the fragmentation to simplify the task load.
1. Introduction – The construction sector in India is lagging a far from it’s growth and having a long gap in it’s overall implementation process. The contracts and claim sector in India needs to be revised under some circumstances to improve the growth in it. This happens due to the old cultural method that is being always used in the implementation of the project. Hence here it needs to be a requirement of a new project management method in the construction industry.
1.1 Expansion of Agile In 1990, Japanese industries restructuring after the 2nd world war introduced the word “agile” in the project management history. Agile project management has their significant headway in the information technology industry. Agile project management is a management science of Deming itself but perhaps, it got on a hold due to the war like situations. While in 2001 the term agile was introduce as the umbrella in the software industry. This agile movement is being active particularly in between the early of 2003 in the information technology industry. But this agile software management has the wider scope in all the fields rather that just in the software as replicated by project management experts.
