Problem

Scenario

You are managing delivery for a live network software program when several urgent issues hit at once. A customer-reported defect is affecting a subset of users, a critical integration dependency is slipping, and leadership is asking for a status update on a committed release. You need to decide what gets attention first without losing control of delivery.
