You are the PM for Marlow Chemicals's specialty chemicals platform. You have 7 engineers for a 12-week quarter — roughly 84 engineer-weeks of capacity, before the usual 20-30% goes to support and unplanned work.
Five things are on the table:
A. Enterprise SSO. Blocking $247k of annual contract value across three deals in late-stage procurement. Estimated 12 engineer-weeks.
B. Performance work. The app's slowest screen takes 4.3s to load. Support cites it as the top complaint. Estimated 19 engineer-weeks.
C. Onboarding redesign. Activation sits at 29%; research suggests a redesign could add 11 points. Estimated 15 engineer-weeks.
D. Platform migration. Technical debt is slowing every team by an estimated 28%. Estimated 25 engineer-weeks.
E. The CEO's feature. The CEO promised a specific customer a custom reporting feature at a conference. 9 engineer-weeks. No other customer has asked for it.
Sales says A. Support says B. Growth says C. Engineering says D. The CEO says E.
Set the quarterly roadmap. Provide:
You cannot do everything. Be explicit about what you are cutting.
