Inspector
Role Attribute

Purpose
The Inspector assures quality by evaluating the work of other team members.
The Inspector investigates output and possible problems before this leaves the team.
Notes
The Inspector researches potential solutions or workarounds to known issues.
The Inspector is not the same as a Custodian. The Custodian (such as engineers and architects) would monitor how part of a value stream is created. The Inspector (such as testers and quality managers) would monitor how the value is delivered.
Rules / Constraints
There can be multiple Inspectors, possibly with different areas of expertise.
