How to develop individualistic pov while taking other stakeholders into account too?
As a product manager, I sometimes get swayed by the different requirements that other stakeholders provide though it doesn't seem correct in a macroscopic picture. I feel this can be avoided by having an individualistic approach to the problem statement so that I have complete conviction on the problem to be solved. How should one approach this?
This happens a lot.
Be politically correct, acknowledge problem, put it in backlog, but don’t follow the suggested solution. Talk to multiple folks and find out the way to solve it. Next thing which comes is priority. Try to involve your manager and show the backlog, items which are important for now and why you can’t pick the requirement atm. Most of the times this should work.
Yeah and even what the users want tends to get sidetracked. Hate when this happens.
