Abstract

The construction sector is always in need of development.The processes and strategies employed in decision-making also require enhancement.Conventional methods are different from the demands of a rapidly evolving sector.Problems frequently originate from the contractual agreements and provisions agreed upon and accepted by the parties needing to comprehend their viability fully.Both during the endeavor and toward its conclusion, these cause several issues.New methodologies, such as Agile, are emerging to address these challenges, hoping that breaking the project down into smaller components would lower the likelihood of unfavorable results.It works best when the project can be completed in smaller steps, which may only sometimes be possible in construction or other industries.The Agile technique, in which the team works collaboratively to navigate the phases of project development, can be compared to the Project Design-Build delivery method.In actuality, though, even these methods annoy the stakeholders because project terms and conditions frequently alter and give rise to conflicts.Every project is, in actuality, a distinct deliverable that, if improperly managed, is highly brittle.This work proposes a novel modeling tool called Fragile, which extends the Agile approach to assist in delivering the project in the most effective manner possible from the outset, particularly for conditions that may change in the future.
