I can't recall a situation when it mattered how my vendors operated- whether they were agile, command and control, or mafia. I needed a specific deliverable (service or product) by a specific date, and we agreed to pay them a specific amount of money to accomplish this. How they managed their end was of little importance to me, as long as they met their contractual obligations.
This is also true for other departments within my organization. My projects may rely on them, but it doesn't matter how they're managed, so long as we all meet our commitments. to each other.
