You are leading an engineering initiative where the business is pushing for a faster release, but the team has identified quality risks that could affect reliability, customer trust, or downstream support. You need to decide whether to ship sooner with reduced scope or safeguards, or delay to reach a higher quality bar.
Tell me about a time you had to make a hard trade-off between speed and quality. How did you make the decision, align stakeholders, and manage the risks of the path you chose?
