A systematic literature review (SLR) technique was adopted by the author to search using pre-defined keywords. Only scholarly articles published between 2011 and 2021 written in English were included in the search. The total of 316 subscribed documents were collected from the five (5) online databases based on the search criteria although twenty-nine (29) are duplicates. ScienceDirect has the highest number with 189 documents and the year 2020 with the highest published articles. Six (6) phases and forty-three (43) activities were identified.
