I like to appeal to person interest more. I'm gonna do X, that should remove some of the arguments in our *insert meeting/discussion" (removes problems from that stakeholder) and speed up this so we're never the blocker when other teams are involved (puts your stakeholder like a pm ahead of his peers and in the corporate rat race). The more you know the stakeholder (a colleague, a manager, an owner) the more you understand his goals and his pains the more surgical you can be. E.g. "I am going to rewrite this in typescript because typed languages are nicer to use" => "I am going to rewrite this in typescript as it will provide a better experience and make hiring easier" (might be important if youre looking for extensive Magento experience in the middle of countryside Germany to drop it and PHP). "I will only provide feedback under the form on mobile because that's the only screen where they won't see it without scrolling" => "I will only provide feedback under the form on mobile so we don't confuse users on desktop and lose sales". Again, it is very important to understand what drives the particular stakeholder and try to sell general ideas under the light of how it benefits him. Your website lacks accessibility? Don't appeal to ethics of disabled people. Explain it's your managers head on the line if someone complains due to the EU accessibility act and there's legal responsibilities.
