Quality can not be compromised even if there is a rush for release by key stakeholders. But it will certainly need a tradeoff between features against a tight deadline. Release different iterations if you need to of the product say 1.0, 2.0 etc with incresining complex features that leads to its market success.

Quality Ensures Success! ?? I'd advocate for a balanced approach to address stakeholder pressure while maintaining product quality. First, communicate the risks of premature release, emphasizing potential long-term consequences—present data-driven evidence showcasing the importance of quality assurance. Propose a phased release strategy, allowing for critical testing while meeting some stakeholder expectations. Implement accelerated QA processes without compromising thoroughness. Engage stakeholders in prioritizing features for initial release. Remember, a quality product builds lasting customer trust.

1. Understand Stakeholder’s ask: - Context: Urgency and why it is important to them - Current Scenario: What’s the situation? - Driver for Urgency: What’s pushing for the ask NOW 2. Assess Impact: - System: How will it affect the overall end to end system? - Users: Impact on usability and users. - Data: impact on existing, future data. 3. Team Alignment: - QA: Choose, suggest between end-to-end QA or a quick sanity or partial. - Buy-In: Get team agreement on the approach. 4.Scope and Communication: - De-Scope: Not so critical feature/ tasks. - Collaborate: Discuss trade-offs with stakeholders and impact on the system.
