Ever wanted to do something new, or make a change on your software project - but other people on your team won\'t support you? Maybe you want to move from scrum to kanban, use a newer JavaScript framework like\\xa0remix, or if you\'re a UX designer introduce something like customer journey maps.\\xa0

It would be nice to always have support from other people, but if you\'ve never had pushback for one of your ideas,\\xa0it\'s a matter of WHEN - not IF. So at some point, unless you want to quit your job every time you need a change to keep delivering great software, you\'ll need to persuade other people on your software team, or in management - to support you.\\xa0

In this episode I\'d like to share with you what I learned over 15 years of software development consulting about persuading IT management and other technologists on your software team. Persuasion is a soft skill that is more valuable than many people realize!\\xa0
