Problem

Scenario

Your team is supporting a high-priority engineering roadmap, but cross-functional partners keep pushing for additional work. Product wants faster delivery on roadmap commitments, while Sales is asking for customer-specific requests that would consume the same engineers. You need to protect your team from thrash without damaging trust or becoming seen as a blocker.

Question

How do you advocate for your teams resources when working with cross-functional partners like Product or Sales?
