I feel like I should also add this: Justifying your position over the customers position really depends on your customer's end goal. Maybe they're not even concerned with reporting; maybe they just want to know how many calls are answered in the upper tier queue (overflow) coming from the lower tier queues.
Again, you would just want to be clear and document exactly how this may impact reporting. Can you provide clarity on the end-goal?

In these situations (where the client's wishes run upstream to my recommendations) I have found what works best for me, is to clearly document the outcome of the configuration so the client knows exactly what will happen and document your proposed configuration that achieves their end goal as well. I typically avoid drawing focus to the fallacy of the client's desire or why "my way" might be better as these situations tend to be "political" in nature and you want to avoid those land minds at all costs. As long as the customer's desire doesn't represent a clear and present danger to anything else in the system, sometimes, I have found that I have to let clients discover on their own, why "my way" might be better. -Ryan On Sep 8, 2016, at 3:36 PM, Max Harmony <bmaxi...@gmail.com<mailto:bmaxi...@gmail.com>> wrote: Honestly Brian, I think they don't want to be manually re-skilling all the time and figure this is easier for them, I can't just tell them there's no need to, I need to have justification and Cisco Best Practice guidance to have a stronger case.

I am not very confortable with the user experience but can anyone advice on what would be the best recommendation for this situation?
