Scenario

You are the Engineering Manager for a product team that is missing some delivery dates and also spending time on recurring process issues: unclear handoffs, inconsistent estimates, and avoidable rework. Your product partner wants more features shipped next quarter, while your senior engineers are pushing for a process overhaul before adding more scope. You need to decide how much to invest in process improvements without slowing the team down further or creating a long-term delivery problem.

Question

How do you decide whether to invest in process improvements versus product delivery?
