This assumes a lot of other factors, but I'd say they all converge. You won't have high code quality without a motivated and competent team for instance. Same

This assumes a lot of other factors, but I'd say they all converge. You won't have high code quality without a motivated and competent team for instance. Same if they can't correctly scope their features or engage in long unplannable projects, etc. I'd make a parallel with clean natural water: you can't have it in isolation, the rest of your environment needs to be functional to preserve it.
