A crucial part of any larger software project is the integration with other systems and services. This is why we start with a Walking Skeleton that integrates over all these components and demonstrates how they work together. Integration after the implementation becomes a huge pain because of dependencies sometimes.
Besides, it's also a great way to get to know the other teams you are integrating with, building a common understanding of the problem to solve and learning to trust each other. Vital to softening the silo walls!
Just to make sure the same approach works even inside a team as well in which backend and frontend sometimes work in isolation for a long time. Walking Skeleton becomes a good starting point and first slice of the work!
