Both Intersection of Agile and Waterfall and Embracing Agile discuss how Agile is adaptive and works in sprints. It is noted that Agile has a “lean development method” Grech, T. (2015, August) where “change is necessary” Rigby, D. K., Sutherland, J., & Takeuchi, H. (2016, May). Agile is a methodology where “all of the work is equally critical” Grech, T. (2015, August) where the waterfall method does not have that equality between the work. However, both forms of methodology require specific teams to be formed.

These two conditions make me a little concerned with fitting an Agile methodology into the company, but ultimately I believe Vygon USA has more favorable then not favorable conditions for the Agile …show more content…
