Problem

Scenario

You are leading an engineering team that needs to deliver against several important priorities at once: new product commitments, reliability work, technical debt reduction, and internal platform improvements. Different stakeholders are pushing for different outcomes, and each believes their work is the most urgent. You need a roadmap that is credible, executable, and resilient when priorities inevitably shift.

Question
