I recently reviewed Shane Gibson's book, An #AgileData Guide to Information Product Canvas, at scottambler.com/information-.... This is a great book for any #data professional working on data/information products.

Pretty much. The subtitle alone doesn’t make it clear, particularly given how close the movies were released and the similarities in marketing.

Those are movies that were similar, but from different companies. This is a series, so even 28 Years Later 2 would be significantly clearer.

The names of the two movies are too similar.

Hope to have a cover design for my forthcoming book, Not Just Data, by the end of the week.

Keep going, there will be a McDonalds or Starbucks any time now. Or a Denny’s.

A "roadmap" should have multiple ways to get from point A to point B. And multiple points, not just B, that you can get to from point A.

Unless you're capable of competently performing an activity, don't use #AI to augment it because you won't be able to adequately determine whether what the AI has done is sufficiently correct for your context.
