Hi all - I’m the head of the project management department at my agency. I’ve been here almost two years and want to move from my cube to a vacant office but need to convince my superiors. Any advice?

I would imagine you are a key member of the agency management team you should have your own office. You need an office to conduct private/sensitive conversations with your staff and other team members. Ask for the office as if you deserve it and you do!
