Making Escalation Decisions in SaaS Projects

from ByteSized · host kylerturnbull

This mini episode breaks down one of the hardest leadership challenges in SaaS delivery: knowing the difference between work that is difficult and work that is broken. We explore how poor governance turns normal project friction into unnecessary escalations, why not every disagreement should move up the chain, and how disciplined decision structures prevent credibility loss, rework, and wasted spend. The focus is on building escalation paths that surface real issues without rewarding preference-driven overrides.   Watch the full episode here: https://youtube.com/live/aSP6jCk3twc?feature=share    Connect with me on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/kylercheatham/  Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kyler_cheatham_tech/   Follow me on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@kylercheatham   Connect with The Confluencial https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-confluencial   Follow The Confluencial on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the.confluencial
