  • "As engineering managers, it’s our obligation to prioritize and manage technical debt properly. However, achieving the correct mix between reducing technical debt and providing new features while meeting deadlines can be fairly tough.To manage technical debt efficiently, it’s vital to first understand how to detect it inside your projects.

  • "Ask if the quality aspect is negotiable? Clearly hoping it is not. Then move on to explain nicely about the iron triangle - scope, time, resources. With scope and resources fixed, the time would need to be variable unless the project is considered cookie cutter, the exact project has been done many times in the past. (which is unlikely). If time cannot be relaxed, then the scope should be variable."

  • "I'd do an audit of what we understand, the gaps and the risks. What information do we have and how confident do we feel? What assumptions do we have? What do we not know? What is the risk of making certain assumptions? With this information, and a pulse of your team you can get an understanding of the risk level for moving forward. If the risk is high, you need to go back to leadership with the evidence and ask for more time. **What's the risk if we don't launch on"
