“In Kanban, there’s only the “stuff” to be done, and the development team should do it in the order prioritized by product management.”

Leaving all of the prioritization to product management is already a tenuous process. What if the product manager pushes an obviously wrong feature? What about technical debt? The mistake most frequently made with all agile processes is to over simplify.

A fixed deadline is one dangerous simplification but so are other rigid aspects like assuming strict roles. Any simplification has the power to make things easier when it works but also the risk of epic fail when it doesn’t work.
