Congratulations! You've just been assigned as Project Manager for "Project Phoenix" - a critical digital transformation initiative that will "revolutionize how we do business."
In the kickoff meeting, your CEO stands at the front of the room, radiating confidence. "This will change everything. The timeline is tight but absolutely doable. We're going full Agile. I'm counting on you to make this happen."
Scattered applause. Someone in the back starts a slow clap that doesn't catch on.
As everyone files out, your CTO leans in and whispers: "The vendor says 18 months minimum. CEO wants it in 6."
Your newly hired Scrum Master (they started yesterday) approaches with wide, hopeful eyes: "This is so exciting! Should I schedule the first sprint planning?"
Across the room, you notice the lead developer has their laptop open. They're updating their LinkedIn profile.
What do you do?
