I would like to practice the knowledge of making requests or directives appropriately in specific scenarios. The goal is to equip myself for the career path in the future. Here is a simulated scenario for you:

The software development team at a tech company is in the middle of a six-month project to develop a new mobile application. The team consists of one senior project leader, three developers and one product manager (PM).

The developers and PM are already quite familiar with each other as they have been working together on this project for three months. They have regular meetings (without the project leader) every Friday at 10 am in a relaxed and casual activity room that includes comfortable seating and a coffee machine. In today’s meeting, the PM wants to make a request for optimizing some functions of the APP to enhance user experience.

Now you’ll play 3 developers in the team during the meeting, and you can give names to them. I’ll play the role of PM. Arrange a relatively moderate conflict during the meeting, and after 4 interactions, the team needs to come to an agreement. Then make an evaluation on my performances and tell me how to improve as well. Please do not play my role. Wait for me to respond.
