Problem

Scenario

You're advising an engineering leader who has more project requests than the team can realistically deliver. Business priorities are shifting, stakeholders are pushing for different outcomes, and the roadmap needs to stay credible.

Question

How do you decide which projects should be prioritized when business needs are changing?

What This Tests

  • How you tie project choices to business KPIs
  • How you make trade-offs under constrained capacity
  • How you handle roadmap changes without creating chaos
  • How you balance strategic work with reliability, compliance, and technical debt

Representative Context

A realistic Addison Group example includes competing requests across recruiter workflow improvements, onboarding automation, integration reliability, reporting, cloud cost reduction, and compliance logging, with capacity for only a subset this quarter.
