Problem

Scenario

You are managing several active initiatives at once, and new requests keep arriving from leaders who all believe their work is the top priority. Some projects have customer impact, some reduce operational risk, and others support longer-term platform goals. You need to make sequencing decisions without enough capacity to do everything at the same time, while keeping stakeholders aligned and avoiding constant reprioritization.

Question

How do you prioritize multiple conflicting projects?
