Your question is Escalating Engineering Risks. Take a moment with it on the right.
Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).
You are an engineering manager at a services company, and your team is carrying several delivery, quality, and dependency risks at once. Some issues can be handled inside the team, while others could affect timelines, customer trust, or contract commitments. Leadership wants a clear standard for when a risk stays local and when it gets escalated.
How do you decide which engineering risks need escalation to leadership or the customer?
