Yeah, I ran a quick risk matrix this morning. Stakeholder A’s pushback is a red‑hot priority—needs a fast win or a big compromise. Stakeholder B is yellow, we can ride it out with a phased rollout. I’ve sketched the mitigation steps in the same spreadsheet I keep on the side. Want me to walk you through it before the next meeting?

Quick win for the red‑hot: lock a single critical feature into the MVP that satisfies Stakeholder A’s core KPI. We’ll pull the extra budget line, reassign the junior dev to that feature, and set a 48‑hour sprint goal. If that fails—if A still says no—we’ll pivot to a “feature‑toggle” compromise: keep the feature in the build but flag it for a later release, and give A a dedicated dashboard that shows usage metrics to prove value. That buys us time and keeps the relationship intact. For the yellow, we’ll roll out in three phases: 1) internal beta with 20% of the user base, 2) staged rollout to 50% after bug fixes, 3) full launch once we hit the KPIs. I’ve already added the timelines to the spreadsheet. I’ll email it now so we can tweak it together before the meeting.
