About the webinar

We've all been there. The CEO, Sales, a VP coming to Product asking for a feature, which they need yesterday.

It's a delicate situation, where hierarchical dynamics play an equally important role as a sound line of argument if a feature is really needed in the requested form.

To explore how to manage successfully feature requests from powerful stakeholders, I'll talk to David Aubespin. David, ex VP Product & Design at Hopin, is a tech polyhistor and exited founder.

David believes in pre-empting. He advocates building relationships so it rarely comes to situations where a feature is prioritized due to the power of the person requesting it. Sign up to our webinar to learn about his techniques and best practices.

Key learnings

You'll get a toolbox of tactics that you can use when you find yourself in a situation where features are pushed through by powerful stakeholders.

Agenda

  1. Exploring why powerful people ask to put their features in the fast lane
  2. How can you preempt getting into a situation like this?
  3. How should you handle fast lane requests
  4. What do you do if features are still pushed through by force
  5. Q&A
