Explorando o potencial da gestão ágil na indústria da construção: uma revisão sistemática da literatura

To carry out more efficient and effective projects, those involved in project management in the construction industry seek alternatives to preserve projects' profit and value, manage change, improve communication with the client, and anticipate risks in the face of unforeseen events. In the face of uncertain and ever-changing scenarios, the Agile methodology has emerged to help the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector face management challenges. This paper investigates the applicability of Agile methodology in construction project management. Insights from a state-of-the-art were mapped based on a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis of 26 articles selected using criteria listed in the research protocol. A quantitative analysis of the distribution by year and country of publication and a qualitative analysis of the content were conducted, using codes managed by Atlas.ti software. The characterization of Agile management and the Scrum framework, the problems in construction projects, the application in the AEC industry and the conceptualization of the hybrid approach were analyzed. The authors discussed the main points surrounding the research and validated the benefits Agile adds to construction project management based on the literature.
