The public sector in Bosnia has been perceived negatively for several reasons (huge administration, slow system, bureaucratic culture, etc.) Therefore, the public administration reform and modernization of public companies is crucial for improving the quality of life of the citizens. Public administration reform and modernization projects usually ends up as IT projects. That's way it is so important to increase a success rate of these projects.

In this regard, there will be two lectures at the meetup with the intention to list causes of the problem and offer some solutions.

The first topic "Challenges of implementing agile software development in public companies" will give us an overview of the obstacles that stand in the way of applying agile paradigm for in-house software development in a public company and to offer recommendations to overcome them.

Next topic "Public procurement of agile product development" will give us an insight into specification method of agile approach in the procurement process, with the distinct overview of describing procurement subject with the results that contracted provider need to achieve and the selection criteria in terms of technical and professional ability of the economic operators.
