No not yet! Just ordered it -- sounds like something I should read. Thanks for the recommendation!
I like that emphasis on both the "what" (the product) and the "how" (the way we build it.) A colleague also recently turned me on to the importance of "why," which I'm finding to be an effective way to start -- always begin with a shared sense of why we're doing the work in the first place.
