So much good stuff covered in this one Kax. My favorite stakeholder idea management move involves a little "That sounds great! Let me put it on the backlog" followed by a little "Oh this has been on the backlog for 2 years I guess it's time to cancel it!"

Great article on collaborating with your stakeholders. You can also let the stakeholder know how much demand you have had for their request.

i agree with this! and i believe that data on deman should always be put on the table.

however, i have seen some pushy stakeholders *cough*c-level*cough* who really think that their one demand is worth the entire universe's 😂 so demand data is just the beginning of the conversation usually with them.

For sure! Demand is one of many points of information to give your stakeholders.
