TOPIC:
Dealing with HIPPOs, (the Highest-Paid Person’s Opinion) without going insane!
Are you building a product in an idea-rich environment? What do you do when ideas are flying at you from all directions because everyone has an opinion? Is your backlog overflowing with feature requests and turning into a black hole? Is your roadmap a collection of other people’s priorities? … One or more of these situations has happened to all of us at some point in our career. I’ve been here and it’s incredibly frustrating, especially when you’re stuck in the thick of it. However, you CAN make this situation work in your favor!
