○ Contexts are shared as needed
○ Questions are asked as needed
● Shared understanding = increased bus count
○ Team is not blocked when someone is out
○ Anyone can take vacations anytime
● Shared product ownership
○ All the roles work together to achieve product goals instead of trying to
“get just their job done” individually
○ Everyone is incentivized to achieve the same success criteria
