With the budget cuts, the conflicting priorities must be managed with the first step being clearly specifying of tasks in the light of core goals and their ranking according to impact. Discuss overtly with your team to arrive at consensus on what is crucial. Conserve resources on high-impact areas and seek creative, lower-cost ways for areas of less importance. Keep the priorities under review and flexible; communicate visibly so that constraints don't cause the team to be diffused or demoralized.
