Stakeholder Conflict Navigator

Pro v1.0.0 1 view

Navigate conflicting stakeholder demands with prioritization frameworks, trade-off analyses, and stakeholder-specific communication plans that preserve relationships and credibility.

What You Get

Transform competing stakeholder priorities into clear decisions with defensible frameworks, personalized communication plans, and roadmaps that keep everyone aligned without damaging relationships.

The Problem

Product managers constantly face conflicting demands from sales (revenue features), engineering (tech debt), marketing (market positioning), and executives (strategic vision). Saying no damages relationships, but saying yes to everything means nothing ships well. Without a structured approach, PMs either make arbitrary-looking decisions that invite escalation, or try to please everyone and deliver nothing of value.

The Solution

This skill creates a complete conflict resolution package: a prioritization framework weighted for your company stage, a trade-off analysis matrix with quantified impact, stakeholder-specific communication plans that speak each person's language, a roadmap visualization showing how all priorities fit together, and an escalation prevention strategy. The framework approach makes decisions defensible, the personalized communications preserve relationships, and the roadmap gives everyone visibility into when their priorities will be addressed.

How It Works

  1. 1 Gather conflict context including stakeholder requests, company stage, team capacity, and business metrics
  2. 2 Build prioritization framework with dimensions weighted for company stage (pre-seed, growth, scale)
  3. 3 Score each option and generate trade-off analysis with quantified impact
  4. 4 Craft stakeholder-specific communication plans using each person's metrics and language
  5. 5 Create roadmap visualization showing how priorities fit together with decision points
  6. 6 Design escalation prevention strategy with pre-briefs, transparency, and regular updates

What You'll Need

  • List of conflicting stakeholder requests with features, timelines, and rationale
  • Company context: stage (pre-seed through scale), primary goals, team capacity
  • Business metrics: revenue at risk, pipeline amounts, strategic importance of each request
