Artifact: Methodology Diagnosis — MedGuard

MedGuard infusion-pump firmware team -- methodology diagnosis -- exercises co-02, co-15.

• Mismatch: Scrum's benefit (fast reprioritization with an engaged, present customer) requires a customer able to reprioritize mid-cycle. MedGuard's actual "customer" is a regulatory design-control process locked roughly eight months before coding starts -- there is no reprioritization to enable, so the benefit is structurally unavailable while the ceremony cost is paid in full.
• Better fit: waterfall-with-milestones, replacing sprints with phase gates tied to the regulatory design-control sequence (design-input freeze, verification, validation, release).
• What survives the switch: execution mechanics still add value regardless of methodology -- redesign the daily standup as a blocker-focused check-in, keep it, and drop only the Scrum-specific ceremony that assumed a reprioritization capability the team never actually had.
