If there was no law, would everybody be criminals? Creating an agile workflow
Comments
Agile methodology gives an enormous amount of flexibility. This is also a challenge because flexibility and freedom means something slightly different to each team member .

We wanted to create one work environment for our clients together with our developers and project managers. Among others we aimed to limit the amount of emails in between client and project manager. Was it a good decision to invite our clients to use our Project Management environment?
