As leaders, we are constantly navigating the tension between delivering new features, maintaining product vision, and managing the ever-growing mountain of tech debt. This talk explores practical strategies for balancing these competing priorities without burning out your team or compromising long-term goals.

Drawing from real-world experience leading engineering teams through platform migrations, legacy cleanups, and product launches, I will share frameworks for prioritisation, stakeholder alignment, and team empowerment. Whether you are a delivery manager, tech lead, product manager, or developer with leadership aspirations, this session will equip you with actionable insights to lead with clarity, confidence, and compassion.
