Questions about this wheel
Is this a project management tool?
No. It's for the moment of choosing between tasks you've already identified. Use your normal task manager for the list itself.
What if the wheel picks something impossible right now?
Remove it and spin again. Entries the wheel can't act on shouldn't be on the wheel in the first place.
Can I use it for a team?
You can, for example to pick which backlog item to discuss next. Keep it to work that's genuinely comparable in priority.
