What if we had a circulating developer, who's role was to make sure that everything - from unit tests and a working CI to adequate PBIs - is in order? Without someone in that role it's just too hard to accomplish. Take, for example, the simple and life saving example of washing hands - in Operating Rooms there is a role of a circulating nurse, who's job is to make sure that everything in the sterile area of the operation stays that way. The book is rich with real life examples that will make you think - we must adopt these to our SW development teams, too. You'll be surprised how much these are also required from software professionals. In his book, Better, Atul Gawande focuses on three required traits for surgeons, namely diligence, doing right and ingenuity.
