Yep, nice succinct video. I especially liked the point about keeping the draft sketchy and not committing to screen/software too soon. Not sure that I agree with the concept of involving everyone. . . . . I can see the ethical/cultural/moral sides of this argument but often practicality of just needing to get stuff done/time/money means this is impractical to follow through.
