Where there's a dichotomy, there's something yet to be understood.

Where there's a dichotomy, there's something yet to be understood. Agile vs Waterfall. Scrum vs Kanban. Annual Budget vs Incremental Budget. Cross-functional teams vs Functional teams. You name it. There's no one-size-fits-all. Different unique contexts have different optimum solutions. Funding, governance and operating models should be fit-for-purpose where you're building a product, executing a project, or working in service delivery, where you are in the 'exploration/startup' stage, 'expansion/growth', or 'extraction/protect' stages of the lifecycle.
