These are also known ‘brede school’. outcomes indicate adequate involvement, specific forms handling such during planning, realization process needed. findings show flexible method adjusts itself different phases tasks To account, tool getting involved right developed. By using tool, an overview on type needed, frequency next phase planning phase. opens possibility quick observations decisions involve process. paper finalizes with conclusions recommendations further research.
