The Story The 26th April, 2011, the Luxemburgish ALE visioning

think tank rose up its vision on an ALE network.

It wasn’t that simple to start this kind of discussion without having insight from stakeholders: so invitation has been send to agile groups, project management groups, lean thinkers, coaches, finances.

Result of this huge invitation delivered a set of 7 people who represent the ALE early-birds of Luxemburg (happy to have this people in that short time and during Eastern Holidays).
