Don't Deliver What You Can't Explain

A Scrum Manager strip

Four-panel comic strip: the client holds the contract and asks what clause 14.3 actually means; the team exchanges silent glances while the AI looks away on its screen; the developer offers to regenerate it in twenty minutes; and she tucks the contract under her arm and concludes that what no one can explain or answer for doesn't reach the client, while the AI offers to generate the explanation too.
The concept

To the classic principles of agility, Agile Bedrock adds one that did not need stating before: orchestration with judgement. The machine executes; the person judges. Orchestrating is not operating, but deciding what is delegated, what is validated and what is discussed, without the human chain of responsibility ever being hidden. From it follows a very concrete practical rule: whatever assistance produces that no human can explain or answer for should not reach the client. Offering to regenerate the document fixes nothing, because the new clause would be just as orphaned: generating an explanation is not the same as being able to explain it.
