ASSIGNMENT CASE STUDY
Case Study: Agility in Construction – How Combination of Lean, Agile, Kanban and Scrum is Used in Construction.
Acknowledgment: The case study is taken from the following YouTube link.
M. Bajic, “Agility in Construction – How Combination of Lean, Agile, Kanban and Scrum is Used in Construction,” YouTube video, 1:18:17, June 2020. [Online]. Available: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwDJ38_HoeA. [Accessed: March 10, 2023].
The objective of this assignment is to analyse the practical applications of Lean, Agile, Kanban, and Scrum methodologies in real-word industry. In some cases, network engineers may work closely with construction companies during the planning and implementation of network infrastructure for new construction projects. For instance, a network engineer may collaborate with a construction company to design and install cabling, switches, routers, and other necessary network equipment for a new building or campus. They may also work together to ensure that the network infrastructure meets organisational requirements, such as bandwidth, redundancy, and security. Therefore, it is important to consider these concepts holistically while developing the building, wiring, networking, and electrical systems. Through this assignment, students will gain an understanding of the benefits and challenges associated with using these methodologies in real-world projects.
