Perhaps opportunity, but did it happen?

- Sense of participation - many DDs chose to reduce their participation
because they felt unvalued, some publicly, some quietly;

- Hard work - the reduced participation made more work hard work IMO;

- Good results - did we release?  Were any proper measurements taken?

- Hear feedback - and then ignore lots of it and take the process 
effectively 'out of reach' of the project.

So, how are we better than we were before dunc-tank?

Puzzled,
