Is Collaboration Throughout Really Important?

I've been thinking a lot about like design tools too and fig months, stuff like that. I mean, all of these tools that invite all of the other stakeholders early, it just creates this dynamic also. If you don't have that kind of check-in continuously, you will get kind of too far away from what's still relevant. And I think that that closest with the product team throughout is so important because like, unfortunately priorities change or cut lines move.
