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
