What you'll learn

Find the question behind the request

Answer what the PM actually needs to decide, not only the ticket as written.

Bring a sized opportunity, not a request

Turn "we should look at this" into "this is worth X, and it needs half an engineer".

Make partners co-owners

Share credit so the next project gets staffed, and learn when to escalate and when to have lunch.

Triage requests to protect your best work

Use a simple checklist so ad hoc asks stop eating the time for work that changes decisions.

Why this topic matters

Most analysts lose influence by bringing requests. They find something important, share it in a channel, and watch it go nowhere. The analysts who get things done without authority bring a sized opportunity, a one-page pre-read, and an answer to the objection before anyone raises it. This session teaches that pattern, with AI sizing the prize and predicting what the PM and the engineering manager will push back on.
