Do you believe in user feedback?

I've been given task of talking to few users every month, although i do it for the sake of showing it on paper, i don't find any real value out of it.

It's an activity that just drains my time.

I know what needs to be built, and have insights that hardly anyone in my org has.

Do you really think it is that important?
