Bringing Procurement into the Agile Product Operating Model
Procurement is often the missing piece in Agile transformations. In this Scrum.org Community Podcast, Dave West is joined by Mirko Kleiner, President, Lean Agile Procurement Alliance and Simon Reindl, Professional Scrum Trainer to explore how procurement’s traditional predictive approach can clash with Agile’s iterative nature—and how to fix it. They share how early involvement, transparency, and cross-functional collaboration between procurement, legal, and product teams can unlock greater agility. Learn how to apply Lean Agile Procurement principles, shift toward goal-oriented contracts, and align third-party relationships to deliver better outcomes faster.
