AB  - LPS and Takt are lauded for their potential to transform construction’s approach to planning and execution. However, more explicit specification of the roles and responsibilities of different levels of management would be helpful towards more effective functioning of the methods. Scrum offers distinct role, responsibility, and accountability definition and this paper examines the applicability of such disciplined role clarity to assist LPS and Takt implementations. This mixed-methods research uses case study design and data from purposeful semi-structured interviews, observation, a literature review, and project documentation review from four projects in three different construction sectors. Findings posit that the adoption of role definition of Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Developers from Scrum could bring greater clarity and effectiveness to site management team’s delivery. Eliminating duplication of effort and crossover of duties allows greater focus on executing work, preparing work, and stakeholder engagement.
