That's an interesting question. From my perspective if you're implementing something Scrum* variant you should be having daily stand-ups with the people on your team who are implementing your design. This is important because when they start each particular task in the implementation they will be forced to bring it up at that particular days stand-up meeting. At that point, you'll have the opportunity to ensure that they are implementing it correctly.
A tight feedback loop is important, which is why I would emphasize the daily standup. It ensure no one just "goes off an does something." Good luck!
