The Adaptation of the Agile Stage-Gate Model (ASGM) for Application in the Development of Timber Building Design
摘要
There is an overall shortage of innovation within the construction sector, which limits the exploitation of sustainable buildings, such as with mass timber. The research presented in this paper is the first step toward developing an idea-to-launch model based on the Agile-Stage-Gate (ASG) to assist with the diffusion of this technology. Concepts considered included pre-fabricated timber, diffusion of innovation, traditional Stage-Gate (SG) and ASG models. Agile Scrum was proposed to be implemented in Stages 3 and 4, with additional changes made in the post-launch review stage. The potential limitations and benefits of applying this model to the timber industry were also discussed. In follow-up research, the proposed model may be refined according to inputs from industry experts.
