It guides the reader step-by-step through the landscape and helps them create the framework necessary to understand how to become proficient and to how to build on that knowledge in the future. It guides the reader in developing the right mindset to become successful and to greatly reduce the amount of time caused from mistakes, rework, and lack of planning.
