I guess all will agree that every successful product is an outcome on number of iterations and to perform progressive iterations there has to be a way / tool which can be one language across the board. That's why these tools such as Sprint exists. And I am sure if you are a good manager ( a future self ), you would sure not giving yourself a suggestion of using "post-its, emails, spreadsheets, large whiteboards , hang a TV screen, pdfs" as the preferred way of managing iterations.

I'm a manager, and post-its, tv screen in the room, extremely large whiteboards (all 3 walls) and spreadsheets have been my secret weapons for a long time... that and going on a long walks with my engineers 1-on-1 to discuss ideas and problems.

Tools and methodologies are guardrails, use them at the beginning as you learn the craft, get ride of them as you grow and always put meaningful conversation above all
