A critical launch is slipping. What's your first move?

Lock scope, resequence the critical path, and give the team a stable plan to execute against.Shrink the release to the slice that proves the most value first — ship the bet, not the backlog.Get PM and Eng in a room for a fast, honest tradeoff conversation everyone can stand behind.Triage the key flows and edge cases with the team so quality holds where it matters most.Fix the system that let it slip — adjust roles, rituals, and handoffs so it doesn't happen again.
