AB  - It is understood that one of the main contributing factors to stagnant productivity in the construction sector is the haste of project teams to start construction without a thorough readiness assessment. With the aim of improving the sector's performance, recent research has turned to analyzing the consequences and challenges associated with the premature start of projects, showing a direction in the search for effective solutions to these issues. The purpose of this work was to present the application of an agile ramp-up method developed to mitigate cases of premature construction start in onshore wind projects. The method used in this article was Design Science Research and covers the following phases: awareness of the problem through understanding the concepts involved; artifact suggestion through the development of a diagnosis; development from the choice of appropriate tools for constructing the "Starting Right" method; evaluation through the impact, transparency, and statistical variance analysis in 16 projects, of which 6 applied the method; conclusion through the systematization of the main learnings. The "Starting Right" method significantly improved the performance of projects during the initial phases, with strategic tool use proving essential for effective responses to various scenarios.
