Procurement? More like 'pro-CRASTINATION', amirite? *crickets* Yeah, I'll see myself out.

Option A all the way! Imagine trying to get approval for a new tool under a traditional procurement process. You'd be lucky to have it by the time the project is over.

Option D is just plain wrong. Contracting is still very much a thing in agile, even if it's a bit different from traditional projects. Come on, people, let's not get carried away here.

I'm not sure I buy option C. Agile teams can work great with external vendors if they're the right fit. It's the procurement process that's the real challenge here.

I agree with Shannon. Vendors often struggle to keep up with the fast pace of agile projects, so option B is also a valid concern.

The procurement processes are definitely a pain point for agile teams. Option A hits the nail on the head. Agile is all about flexibility, and rigid procurement policies can really hamper that.
