Why "no time" really means "no priority"

You see an area in your application that needs improvement, but when you ask for permission to work on it, the response is often, “We don’t have time.” We see this a lot when consulting with teams.

In the latest episode of the No Compromises podcast, we tackle that common objection, “We don’t have time,” and show why it usually hides a priority problem. We also discuss how to convey the true payoff of process improvements by sharing honest before‑and‑after stories instead of vague promises. You’ll leave with practical ideas for getting buy‑in, whether you’re pitching tests, planning habits, or any other change.
