If what's being 'built' is basically a copy/clone of something that a person or team has done before, sure. Coordinating discovery and planning across disconnected "software tradespeople" isn't easy. In physical construction, it's usually pretty easy for contractor A to indicate that he is blocked by contractor B. "I can't drywall until the electrics are in". People wouldn't demand that the drywall be put in anyway just so they could hit some arbitrary "velocity" goal, for example. This is much harder to decipher and work around in software pieces, especially by disconnected vendors and contractors.
