Adaptation of Scrum and Web-Based Integrated Techniques to Construction Sector of Sri Lanka
Sri Lankan contractors are facing competition from foreign construction companies. Due to the very liberal policies of the government, many foreign contractors find ways to enter this very lucrative market. However, in competitive bidding, local construction companies find it very difficult to control some cost and time parameters due to macro-economic factors. VUCA factors are considered in this paper. Hence, to prevent the cost and time overruns, it is needed to enhance the efficiency of internal practices with agile techniques to counter the effects of the VUCA world. Although, many applications are used in the construction industry to improve performance, an integrated web-based project management interface plays a significant role in the construction industry. The main aim of the research paper is to study agile practices (mainly scrum) with developed integrated web-based interfaces could help project managers of local construction companies to optimize the results of triple constraints and decision-making in the local contractor companies. The primary outcome of the research is identifying relationships of cash flows and inter-company operational factors with project performances and, through those factors, enhancing project performances in Sri Lankan construction industry. In this case study, the real-time project performances of a leading construction company in Sri Lanka are studied.
