abstract={In recent years, an increasing number of research articles have been published to demonstrate the benefits of applying Lean tools using different approaches within the construction domain. However, there is a need to enhance the effectiveness of Lean Construction (LC) research by incorporating it within a controlled experimental environment. Due to the fact that many compound effects impact on the variable(s) of interest, it is challenging to develop controlled experiments in real construction projects. This controlled experimental environment can be achieved by developing a Serious Game-based Experimental Setting (SGES) for construction. For this paper, a literature review was conducted to identify synergies between the Agile Project Management (APM), Design Thinking, Lean Start-up and Design Science Research Methodology (DSRM) for establishing effective SGESs for construction management. We found that little research used Serious Games to establish controlled experiments for construction management. In conclusion, we propose 7 research questions to guide the development of SGESs for construction project management research in future. },
