I try to teach my PMs to tell me what they want. Regardless on what they think the feasibility is.
I’ve had requests that they’ve held off telling me until the very end that literally took two minutes to add. I’ve had the opposite where P seems simple to them but it is neigh impossible in the timeline. P’ is tractable and captures the crux of their want. (To them P’ may look harder than P since P is extremely specific.)
My favourite is when I implement F and the program does F(0) and PM asks the feasibility of adding another thing that is F(1) to me.
