Developers are excellence oriented

Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility – Agile Principle.

At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly – Agile Principle.

The Developers have among them technically qualified people who work conscientiously to implement high-quality Increments, as established by the Definition of Done. Through this work they aim to meet the needs of their customers and users in the best possible way, and not to simply execute tasks.

Any lack of qualification and lack of commitment to quality can lead to the accumulation of technical problems and sloppy or temporary solutions. There is no magic here: there is no method or process that makes bad professionals produce good results.

The Developers are therefore excellence oriented. Even if they consider themselves sufficiently qualified to build the end-to-end product, they continually seek to learn how they can do their work better, how they can do it with more quality and how they can best meet the needs of their customers and users, thereby becoming even more effective. And various practices of Scrum, such as the Sprint Retrospective meeting, reinforce this idea of continuous improvement.
