We introduce a new method for proving central limit theorems for random walk on nilpotent groups. The method is illustrated in a local central limit theorem on the Heisenberg group, weakening the necessary conditions on the driving measure. As a second illustration, the method is used to study walks on the $n\times n$ uni-upper triangular group with entries taken modulo $p$. The method allows sharp answers to the behavior of individual coordinates: coordinates immediately above the diagonal require order $p^2$ steps for randomness, coordinates on the second diagonal require order $p$ steps; coordinates on the $k$th diagonal require order $p^{\frac{2}{k}}$ steps.
