You received a task with a 2-week deadline, but the product owner demands it to be done in a week due to a new law. How will you act?

In such a situation, it is important to quickly assess which tasks can be optimized or deferred to meet a week without sacrificing quality. To start:

• Discuss priorities with the product team: what must be done and what can be postponed or simplified.
• Break down the task into the minimal viable product (MVP) that can be implemented within a week.
• Propose compromise solutions, such as automating some tests later and doing manual testing now.
• If possible, attract additional resources or redistribute tasks within the team.

It is important to communicate the risks and potential quality reduction due to tight deadlines so that the product team understands the consequences.
