Problem

Scenario

You are leading an engineering team with more incoming requests than capacity. Product wants faster feature delivery, customer-facing teams are escalating urgent asks, and your engineers are split across roadmap work, tech debt, and operational interruptions. You need a clear way to keep the team aligned on what matters most so effort does not get diluted across too many priorities.

Question

How do you keep your team focused on the highest-impact work?

What This Tests

  • How you prioritize work when demand exceeds capacity
  • How you make trade-offs explicit
  • How you align stakeholders with competing asks
  • How you translate priorities into a workable roadmap
