5 backlog management tips for product managers

I do believe that saying 'no' is a necessary part of the product management discipline, but the most successful product managers I’ve worked with (measured by the trust their stakeholders put in them) can more often than not reframe a cold 'no' to stakeholder requests into language that sounds more like 'Not now, here’s why…' Product managers who bring stakeholders along for the prioritization journey help them see a more complete picture of initiatives and ideas that are all competing for scarcity we all share: time.
