A PM who does this is deferring their responsibility into the team which isn't in the best position to make these calls. If the PM isn't either (or doesn't feel they are), then, well... more and bigger problems... I'd suggest the team adopt an alphabetical approach just to point out the ridiculousness of not having a better priority set. | |

I assume that you prepare your visuals not only for the sake of this discussion but they are freely available for anyone who wants to see them. In this case you just can't pack there any fake data etc. and even if you do it will be easy to verify. | |
