Great article and thanks for sharing; great applications in one’s personal life too. The author is very focused on hows of managing expectations of the technology team, and would love to hear his/her thoughts on how to manage expectations with the business.

This is the authors take on that:

“Here are some concrete ways to tell management or stakeholders no.

This isn’t MAIN_PRIORITY, so we aren’t going to do it until at least ESTIMATED_DONE_DATE.

Right now our priority is MAIN_PRIORITY because of ONE_SENTENCE_JUSTIFICATION, and this is 100% our shipping focus.

I agree this sounds like a really useful feature - once we finish MAIN_PRIORITY, should we consider dropping SECOND_PRIORITY and do it?”
