Agile @ European Institutions ?

(talk with Andrej Zachar)

“Agile” and “public sector”? It sounds like cats and dogs, doesn't it?

Nevertheless never say it is impossible.

We would like to witness a case study of cooperation with a European institution evolving from traditional methodologies into an agile approach, but with respect of the type of organization.

The positive feedback we got from ICT and business, now acts like an 'agile' microbe entering other European and (Belgian) federal institutions!

Yes, it is possible! And it is fun!
