Problem

Scenario

You're leading an engineering team on a product area where priorities keep shifting as new information, customer requests, and leadership input come in. You need to keep the team focused without creating confusion, thrash, or loss of trust in the roadmap.

Question

How do you ensure your team stays aligned on priorities when the roadmap keeps changing?

What This Tests

  • How you re-baseline a roadmap when priorities shift
  • How you make trade-offs explicit instead of implicit
  • How you control scope and reduce thrash
  • How you align stakeholders and the team around one source of truth
