I once worked on a project where the roadmap was ambitious, but engineering timelines were tight. Instead of clashing, I initiated a “value sprint.” I asked, “What can we ship now that delivers 80% of the impact with 20% of the effort?” Collaborating with engineering, we re-prioritized based on user value, not feature volume. I also set a routine of transparent check-ins, where teams aligned goals weekly. Harmony lies in this balance, respecting technical realities while championing customer centric priorities. By the launch, we hit deadlines and exceeded user expectations.
