I overlapped two topics.

Firstly, the Customer and Developer Bills of Rights
apply to GUIs. They split usability from
implementation.

Secondly, some people have the knack for usability,
others for implementation.

Put them together, and splitting a team into roles
based on the GUI, not based on usability requirements,
adds risk.
