Last month, Project Management Institute (PMI) Luxembourg Chapter hosted a collaborative event with PwC Luxembourg on the topic “How agile are companies in Luxembourg”.

Every year the PMI Luxembourg Chapter organises an event in collaboration with its Premium Chapter Sponsor, PwC Luxembourg. This year’s event, held on 18 September invited members and non-members of the chapter to learn about the research findings on the practice of project management in Luxembourg, with a special focus on agile practices.

After  the welcoming  remarks of Karl-Heinz  Rossler, Vice President/Secretary of  the  PMI Luxembourg  Chapter, Sylvain  Chery (Agile  Partner)  presented a  high-level  implementation roadmap to “Being an agile company in an agile world”.

Nassos Karageorgiadis (PMI) and Cédric Schumacker (PwC) then presented the key findings of the study “How agile are companies in Luxembourg”.  They explained that  although the  level  of adoption  of  agile  practices  in  Luxembourg  are  still experimental,  it has  become  increasingly important  to addressing  the  challenges of delivering value faster.

The presentation  was  followed by  an  engaging  discussion  moderated by Thierry  Kremser (Partner  and  Data  &  Technology Leader  at  PwC  Luxembourg).  The panelists  included Sylvain  Chery(Agile  Partner), Julien Renkin (Fundsquare)  and Leigh-Ann  Scheepers (Goodyear  Dunlop  Tires  Operations  SA)  and Karl-Heinz Rossler (PMI).

After the closing remarks of Saskia Van Dyck, Director of Membership and Volunteers of PMI Luxembourg Chapter, the event ended with an exchange of views and experiences of agile practitioners during a panel discussion and a networking cocktail.
