Abstract

This study aims to explore the implementation of Agile Project Management (APM) in Sustainable Construction Projects (SCPs) to identify thematic trends, challenges, and enablers shaping agile adoption in the construction industry. The objective of this review is to determine how agile principles improve collaboration, adaptability, and sustainability outcomes. A systematic review of 104 scholarly articles published between 2006 and 2025 was performed using the PRISMA protocol to ensure rigour and transparency. Thematic analysis was conducted with NVivo and ATLAS.ti to code, visualise, and validate evolving patterns across the literature. The analysis revealed five major themes: iterative planning, responsiveness to change, stakeholder collaboration, digital facilitation, and sustainability integration. These results reveal that agile principles significantly contribute to sustainable construction by improving adaptability, decision-making, and communication processes, in spite of barriers such as organisational resistance and policy constraints. The integrative use of NVivo and ATLAS.ti improved depth and methodological reliability through cross-validation of themes. The novelty of this review lies in its dual-software thematic framework and its demonstration of how agile practices can transform sustainability-orientated construction management. It provides methodological and practical insights for researchers and practitioners aiming to embed agility in sustainable development goals.

Abstract

Value Management (VM) is a structured method for enhancing the effectiveness of building projects, yet adoption in Jordan remains limited. The study identifies the principal barriers to VM adoption in Jordan’s building sector and ranks them to inform policy and practice. A survey of 101 industry stakeholders captured 19 Likert-type indicators. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) reduced the indicators to coherent barrier clusters; partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) then validated a reflective measurement model and tested links with VM adoption. An artificial neural network (ANN) with k-fold cross-validation quantified predictor importance and assessed out-of-sample error. EFA produced three clusters—standardization and organizational practices, workshop design and participation, and culture and industry environment—explaining approximately 73% of total variance. PLS-SEM supported reliability and convergent/ discriminant validity and indicated that workshop-related and standardization barriers exert the strongest adverse effects on VM adoption. ANN results corroborated these patterns and highlighted workshop dynamics as the most influential predictor. This work presents the first integrated EFA–SEM–ANN analysis of VM adoption barriers in Jordan. The multi-method evidence yields actionable priorities: institutionalize standardized VM procedures, strengthen VM workshop design and participation, and address organizational culture to accelerate VM uptake.
