With our brand Agilentro we offer services to make your projects more agile. Based on the four principles of the Agile Manifesto, we bring agile project management to your projects. Even if you're not in IT.
We are not training a specific methodology. Instead, we focus on pragmatic advice tailored to your project team. For that we use a variety of tools from different agile methods like Scrum, XP and even from other frameworks like Lean Six Sigma.
Agilentro consultants can join your team as project managers or project assistants from beginning to end of your project. Or we support your project managers in specific situations, like moderation of important project meetings or during requirements definition. -
