This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the implementation of agile project management methodologies in the construction industry in the United States. The research utilized a review of literature methodology to examine the benefits, challenges, and success factors associated with adopting agile practices in construction projects. By analyzing past studies and scholarly publications, a comprehensive understanding of the topic was achieved. The study highlighted several key benefits of agile project management in the construction industry. These benefits included improved adaptability to changing project requirements, increased client satisfaction through enhanced collaboration and continuous feedback, and greater project transparency and visibility. Additionally, agile methodologies were found to foster more effective risk management and improved project delivery timelines. Challenges encountered during the implementation of agile practices in the construction industry were also identified. These challenges encompassed resistance to change, inadequate stakeholder buy-in, difficulties in integrating Agile with traditional construction practices, and the need for skilled agile practitioners. Understanding these challenges can assist project managers and stakeholders in developing strategies to mitigate potential obstacles. By synthesizing the existing literature, this research provides valuable insights into the implementation of Agile project management in the United States construction industry. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the benefits, challenges, and success factors associated with agile practices, enabling construction professionals to make informed decisions and adopt effective strategies when implementing agile methodologies in their projects. Keywords: Agile project management, Implementation, Construction industry, Benefits, challenges, success factors, United States.

The study was composed of four distinct objectives: To examine the effect of loan financing on job creation of beneficiaries of BDF in Gasabo District; to examine the effect of financial literacy on job creation of beneficiaries of BDF in Gasabo District; to find out the effect assets on job creation of beneficiaries of BDF in Gasabo District and to determine the effect of Grants financing on job creation of beneficiaries of BDF in Gasabo District. The study used a survey research design. The target population is 122 SMEs that received services offered by IJABO REMERA SACCO from BDF Rwanda + 2 top managers of BDF concerning the management SACCO Refinancing project while the sample size of this study was 94 small and medium enterprises including 54 micro-businesses; 36 small business; 3 medium business and 1 large business received services offered by BDF Rwanda through IJABO SACCO Remera branch, Gasabo district. The results show that project loan financing has a significant positive influence on job creation in Rwanda as indicated by β1= 0.156, p=0.008<0.05, which means that an increase of one unit in loan financing would lead to an increase in job creation. In addition, financial literacy has a significant positive influence on the Job creation of beneficiaries of BDF in Gasabo District as indicated by β2= 0.336, p=0.000<0.05. For the third objective, assets financing has a significant positive influence on the Job creation of beneficiaries of BDF in Gasabo District as indicated by β3= 0.210, p-value=.001<0.05. For the fourth objective, the findings revealed that grants financing has a significant positive influence on the Job creation of beneficiaries of BDF in Gasabo District as indicated by β4=0.388, p-value=0.000<0.05. The study concludes that 76.3% of the variation in the job creation of beneficiaries of BDF in Gasabo District can be predicted by joint interaction of loan financing; financial literacy; assets financing and grants financing as indicated by Adjusted R squared at 95% confidence interval.
