The Viterra project approach aims to find a fine balance between being in control and being flexible enough to quickly align with ever changing business requirements. The projects at hand are tool selections and implementations for various business departments. However, since we are an ambitious organization, there are several options for future projects within the various business or IT domains. Mostly these projects are small to medium with a duration of 3-6 months, where it could be the case that you manage multiple projects at the same time.
