- First, I would quantify the expected business benefit versus the effort or cost required.
- I would explain that while the solution is possible, the impact may not justify the investment.
- In one project, a small UI enhancement was easy to implement but did not improve user decision-making.
- I recommended prioritizing features that drive measurable business value first.
- I would suggest deferring or deprioritizing low-impact requirements.
- If stakeholders insist, I would propose a lightweight prototype or minimal implementation to test usefulness.
- I would provide clear documentation of potential ROI and trade-offs.
- This ensures resources are focused on initiatives that meaningfully support business goals.
- I would also revisit the requirement later if priorities or context change.
A requirement is technically feasible but business impact is low. How do you advise?
