Problem

Scenario

You are the Engineering Manager for a hospital-facing software initiative that must ship a patient intake workflow update before a scheduled operational change. The work touches a clinician-facing web surface, an internal support workflow, and a downstream integration that cannot be broken without delaying patient registration. The product owner wants to preserve scope, the operations team is pushing for a hard launch date, and the support team is worried about call volume if anything is unclear. You have to keep the project moving while identifying the biggest delivery risks early enough to act on them.
