change to its external environment. And applying project
management is the first step toward this change. Hence, Stathis
duty is to assist all departments of the organization in
embracing agile project management, applying its methodologies
and even improving the way they make use of them on a daily

ceremonies, conducting further requirements analysis,
requirements prioritization and re- prioritization and
continuous integration. But the cornerstone remains the
establishment of concrete communication channels among all the
stakeholders of the project!
