You are leading a high-visibility project where multiple stakeholders want different outcomes. One group is pushing for speed to hit a public launch date, another wants to reduce scope to protect quality and team capacity, and a third is focused on risk controls and long-term maintainability. You need to keep the project moving without letting the team get pulled in different directions.
Describe a situation where you had to manage a project with conflicting stakeholder interests. How did you align the stakeholders, make trade-offs, and keep execution on track?
