Scenario

You are managing an engineering team that needs to ship a customer-facing release quickly, but the product already has enough usage that quality issues would create real customer pain. Leadership wants speed, product wants the full scope, and the team still needs to protect reliability and avoid creating more technical debt.

How do you balance delivery speed with engineering quality when managing a team?
