Abstract:

Green projects prioritise environmental sustainability, conservation, and responsible resource management. However, even green projects with the strongest environmental intentions can give rise to certain environmental harms. Environmental harms are not unique to green projects, but the fact that green projects produce green harms presents a specific challenge for project management practice. In this developmental paper, we argue for the need to emphasise transparency in green projects using agile project management (APM) to build trust, align project visions with stakeholder expectations, and safeguard against greenwashing. We present the outcome of a systematic literature review of 63 articles achieved through a Large Language Model integrated via LangChain code written in Python. We identify APM transparency drivers, namely, open communication, stakeholder involvement, accountability, monitoring, coordinating, and traceability. Theoretically, we argue that these drivers potentially position APM methodologies as suitable for enhancing transparency of environmental goals in the delivery of green projects.
