toward this change. Hence, Stathis duty is to assist all
departments of the organization in embracing agile project

way they make use of them on a daily basis.

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!
