To navigate conflicting developer preferences in user story prioritization, align decisions with business objectives like revenue impact or customer satisfaction, ensuring focus on high-value outcomes. Leverage data-driven insights from user feedback or metrics to reduce subjectivity. Involve stakeholders to balance external needs, and consider technical debt, dependencies, and developer input to maintain system integrity

Déjà il faut sanctuariser et capitaliser sur les point d'accord. Ensuite instaurer un débat pour que chacun comprenne les points divergents. Souvent le désaccord provient d'une incompréhension dans une équipe technique. Si a ce stade l'équipe n'est toujours pas d'accord sur la hiérarchisation des US alors on peut proposer d'utiliser des solutions comme le WSJF ou d'autres modèles privilégiant les éléments faciles avec de grandes valeurs fonctionnelles. Mais si justement c'est le mode de calcul qui bloque alors il faut trancher a la majorité sur une solution pour avancer dans un sens et challengé sur les itérations suivantes les autres propositions. Mais toujours instaurer un dialogue et valoriser l'ambition commune

As a product owner, I've tackled this issue head-on. Here's how to navigate conflicting preferences in developer user story prioritization: 1. Use objective scoring: Rate stories on business value, user impact, and complexity. 2. Hold a team prioritization workshop: Discuss and vote together. 3. Involve key stakeholders: Align with business goals that DRIVE business Value. 4. Apply MoSCoW or WSJF techniques: Provide structure. 5. Rotate prioritization lead: Give team members turns. 6. Let data guide you: Use analytics and user feedback. Remember, we're here to deliver value, not please everyone. Be transparent about decisions and explain your reasoning. Action: Try one method next sprint. Assess how it reduces conflicts.

In a situation like this, the following approach worked for me, it is effective to gather existing field data and align it with the customer’s vision for the product. Bringing the team together for a workshop focused on this data helps everyone see how each user story fits into the bigger picture. By emphasizing real-world usage and customer goals, the team can identify which stories will deliver the most impact. This approach naturally guides the team to a consensus, ensuring everyone works toward the same objective.

- Facilitate a collaborative discussion to understand each developer's perspective and reasoning. - Use objective criteria, such as business value, risk, and dependencies, to guide prioritization decisions. - Apply techniques like MoSCoW or Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF) to prioritize user stories fairly. - Encourage the team to focus on customer needs and outcomes rather than personal preferences. - If needed, involve the Product Owner or stakeholders to make the final decision and ensure alignment with business goals.
