In the Agile organization, "customer focus" means something very different. In firms that have embraced Agile, everyone is passionately obsessed with delivering more value to customers.

If their work isn't adding value to any customer or user, then an immediate question arises as to why the work is being done at all.

~ Steve Jobs
