Stories have five elements. The first four are:

- Character - Worlds - Events - Narration

The fifth element, Authorial Intent, unifies and empowers the elements of character, world, events and narration. There seems to be an analogous structure in product management. The first four elements are:

- Business Analysis - User Interface / User Experience Design - Software Development / Engineering - Project Management

These elements are unified and empowered by a PO or PM's ability to Interface and Integrate across multiple disciplines and between various stakeholders.

I'm assembling a list of ideas from the different domains to grow my own PM knowledge. Live doc here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1U0NnhH0hsjWq2r80FiInXb1-kMj2p26fuj21-uc2lTA/edit?usp=sharing
