It's interesting, the Security team ended up with a book sprint that produced a book deliverable that is a very valuable piece of documentation, and that wasn't a goal going in. So I think that the more you look for opportunities for UX across projects the more deliverables you could find that we haven't identified yet. So I really want to encourage you to keep looking for those areas where we have need for good experiences.
