What it won't do:
Contain all information Capture all RAIDs Perform analysis Develop strategies Run research Confirm assumptions Debunk assumptions Kill bad ideas Generate new ideas Facilitate discussion Synthesize features/epics/stories Create code, app, product, service or business Manage stakeholders Overcome bias Enforce discipline Bring focus Promote humility
…i.e. YOU still have to take action
