Push Back on a Request

You are the engineering manager for a B2B SaaS release, and product or business stakeholders want to add work that may conflict with the committed plan. The request could help a customer or revenue goal, but it may also increase delivery risk or force a scope change.

Question

How do you decide when to push back on a product or business request?
