I get the point, but making software is not like making sausage. This goes with the point of a small team. You are more efficient if you can do the all the tasks. Adding a singled skilled person (i.e. BA or PM) or even a person with some skills makes things more difficult and take longer. Having roles is better (see Lean IT about roles vs job titles).
