Since the Plan-Procurements step includes considering the risks involved with each make or buy decision, it is important to consider any of this risks an agile approach may bring. For instance an organization following an agile approach engaging with a waterfall based vendor. The stakeholder education process for ensuring all parties understand the approach and closure (“Done”) criteria is important. Often group claim to be doing agile (or waterfall) but in fact are not following all the steps and quality assurance processes than generally define these approaches. Don’t take things on face value, plan to investigate and assess the risks.
