Explanation
In a Lean-Agile environment, quality is built in at every stage by every team member - developers, testers, product owners, and ops alike - rather than inspected in at the end by a dedicated QA gate, making shared ownership the foundational principle. A phased-gate rollout (B) is a traditional waterfall concept that creates handoff delays and contradicts Agile's continuous flow. Separation of Dev and Ops (C) is the opposite of DevOps, which Lean-Agile explicitly promotes to eliminate silos and enable faster feedback loops. Component teams (D) create dependencies and handoffs that slow delivery and fragment accountability for end-to-end quality.
Memory tip: Think "built-in, not bolted-on" - Lean-Agile quality means everyone owns it continuously, not a single team checking it at the end.
