A Scrum project needs a vendor to supply developers for a new reporting platform. The PMO supports agile and procurement is accommodating. What should the project manager do?

Even in an agile environment, organizational processes and policies, such as procurement, must be followed. The Project Management Office (PMO) supports agile and procurement is accommodating, indicating that established procedures are in place and can be adapted if necessary. Consulting the development team or product owner for vendor recommendations might be part of the process, but it doesn't replace the formal procurement steps. Using a vendor from a previous organization without following current policies is a bypass of necessary controls and due diligence. The project manager's responsibility is to ensure compliance with organizational governance.
