Economia circular aplicada no universo empresarial: análise comparativa entre a metodologia tradicional e ágil para a implementação prática do conceito, na ótica de um product owner

Abstract

The circular economy, as it is a topic that is not very widespread in academia, lacks studies that provide instructions already experienced regarding the concept's applicability in the business sector. Based on the above scenario, this study aims to prove the benefits obtained through the preliminary introduction of a sustainable mechanism in a trivially linear structure. More than that, it proposes a comparative analysis between different work methodologies based on circularity as a propositional foundation. The traditional methodology, also known as the waterfall model, is most observed in industries, manufacturing processes, and companies whose work regimes appear obsolete. The agile methodology is usually applied in corporations that work with technology, and innovations and need constant and versatile monitoring of the evolution of their projects. Therefore, it is possible to operate in two distinct business models, expressing the opportunities for improvement found, the value perceived for the Business, and the results likely to be achieved, whether financial or in terms of sustainability, both parameters come together to highlight the company positively in the environment in which it operates, especially given the context of constant transformation that the Era of Industry 4.0 brings to the corporate market
