Problem

You're leading a product area that has a clear long-term direction, but day-to-day engineering work is pulled by customer asks, technical debt, and short-term delivery pressure. Leadership wants teams to move faster without losing sight of where the product should be in the next few years. You've been asked how you would keep execution tied to the bigger picture.
