This research aims to explore the use of agile methodology in managing the construction of a
playground park, contrasting it with lean methodology. The company has been using the lean
methodology for managing construction projects, which emphasizes efficiency(e.g value stream
mapping it represents the flow of materials, information, and processes in a system)(e.g just in
time delivery it involves delivering materials and supplies only when they are needed)(e.g visual
management involves using visual aid, such as charts, graphs and signs to information and
improve communication)(e.g teamwork and collaboration it encourages cross- functional teams to
work together to improve processes and outcomes), elimination of waste and continuous
improvement over the past years. While this approach has been successful for simpler projects, it
lacks the flexibility to adapt to changing requirements and unexpected issues that may arise during
the construction process. As a result, the company has experienced delays, cost overruns, and
dissatisfied stakeholders in some of its recent projects. Therefore, the agile approach is chosen for
its flexibility and ability to adapt to changing the project requirements, including breaking down the
project into smaller sprints, customer collaboration (e.g stakeholders, school administration,
teachers and students), respond to change (e.g If school decide to add a sensory play are for
children with special needs), continues improvement( e.g after each sprint, the team reviews what
went well and could be improved), cross- functional teams(e.g a team including designers,
builders, and safety experts collaborating to ensure that playground is both fun and safe), making
it suitable for a complex projects like playground construction. The company has seen that lean
methodology take time in completing the project due to the following , less production and over
production which result in scheduling time, so the company want to use agile method because it
have a timeframe of 1-4 weeks to complete the work and it collaborate with all stakeholders.
Due to the use of lean methodology in different project over the past 4 years has decline due to lack
of planning, execution, costs overuns and delays, here are the adherence to plan(ATP) metric from
2020 to 2024, in 2020 ATP was 96%,2021 ATP 80%,2023 ATP 60%, and 2024 ATP is 50%. As a result
the company has been struggling to meet the demand deadlines which has left customer
