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.
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.
