Yep, you're right. We do have a lot of tickets that are opened and placed, or even discarded.

But from the standpoint of lean development, do we really need that much demand? Maybe according to the 80-20 rule, we do most of the work and the business gets it done.

And, I agree with your point about the meetings. We are also trying to update each other's status asynchronously, thank you for sharing.
