Before you begin
A cross-functional launch-readiness meeting
Samir is not trying to block the launch. The concern is an unstaffed support burden and a rollback plan that has not been tested under realistic load.
Opening line
“This plan gets marketing its date by moving the operational risk onto my team. I am not signing off on that as written.”
