One of the goals of agile development is to reduce the distance between the developers and the person who will benefit from their labors: The Customer.
When the customer and the developer are close to one another, the idea is that the solutions created are best aligned to what the user really wants. There is a lower chance of miscommunication. Misunderstandings are likely to be cleaned up quickly.

The key unit of experience management has shifted to the customer “episode.” And the core management method is now Agile.
