Problem

Scenario

A senior commercial leader is pushing hard for a feature they believe will help close or expand an important account. You are not convinced the request should be prioritized as asked because it creates delivery risk, adds scope, or may not be the best use of team capacity.

Question

Describe a time when you had to push back on a feature request from a senior commercial leader. How did you assess the trade-offs, manage the stakeholder conversation, and align on what happened next?
