Scenario

You are the Engineering Manager for a product engineering team that is starting a new quarter. The team supports a customer-facing messaging platform, and leadership wants clearer goals so progress can be reviewed consistently without turning every update into a debate about priorities. Product wants faster feature delivery, Support wants fewer escalations, and your engineering peers want more time for reliability work.
