Be suspicious of any activity added to workload that hasn’t been scrutinised. A pet peeve of a nager isn’t necessarily the most valuable thing to work on. Neither is necessarily the work that makes the salespersons job a bit easier to sell the product.

The best features are ones where the requester has skin in the game. How often have I said “yes I can do B, but then you won’t get A” - suddenly, B becomes a lot less important.
