Abstract

Continuous progress of construction projects using the agile approch refere to the project that can be managed at each stage. Agile approch is predicated on the idea that a project can be applied during project lifetime with minimal disruption. The present paper apply the effective project factors depend on a project time schedule as a key concept. In order to achieve this target, the RII method is used to specify the cause of the project schedule delay. then a survey with the experts evaluates the time effect of the higher score factor which causes the project delay. then specify the solution. the underestimation of project duration due to lack of experience and unforeseen conditions, slow in taking critical decisions, the financial ability of the contractor to continue working with owner's delay in payment, lack of resources and delays in delivering materials to the site was the effective factors on the project schedule. the results of RII specify the delays in delivering materials to the site as the main cause of scheduling delays in ıraqi projects. for that, the project schedule was modified with the time and quantities of needed material for each task as a solution to the scheduling delay problems

Keywords
