Problem

How do you guide your team in balancing rapid feature iteration with robust software development best practices? Describe the execution framework you use to make trade-offs visible, align with Product and Quality stakeholders, and maintain delivery momentum without creating unacceptable technical risk. Explain how you would measure whether the balance is working and adjust the approach when delivery pressure increases.
