My thought on this is that an Agile team really needs to keep engaged with the client. The client, or some representative of the client, is ultimately the one with the expectations of what the system should do in the end and what value the system should have. In that sense, they should be the ones keeping the eye on the backlog. Obviously that isn't always easy to do. I just finished James Shore's Art of Agile Development and he suggests something that I thought crazy: something like one client on site for every three developers. It may have even been two for ever three developers... something crazy like that. I know Shore is much bigger on XP than Scrum, but I think the point remains that the more you can keep the client engaged in the process, the less you need to worry as a development team about straying too far from the ultimate goal.
