Too often, non-agile approaches allow things to 'slip' with shoddy work produced on the assumption that another role will be there to step in and 'test' or 'quality control' or 'architect'. The recommended interaction within scrum ensures more talking takes place, which becomes more exposure for work done poorly, and which leads to greater incentive/pressure to deliver high-value work, done right and responsibly. The result: more wins, more often. While we’re talking about value, members on any team need to be producing value – real value – for one another.
