Problem

Scenario

You're leading a project that has started to drift from the original plan. A key dependency is late, some work is taking longer than expected, and different stakeholders are reacting differently—one wants to hold the date, another wants to cut scope, and the delivery team is worried about quality if they compress further.

Question
