The issue here is offering up #3 “It will be late, broken and other features will break” means you are not delivering anything of value, so it is not an option. Offering #3 just communicates “this can be done at a cost that is not relevant to you” as opposed to “there is no way to achieve the stated outcomes”

Offering #3 is absolutely not a business or management problem, this is something you are doing wrong.




Management that sees 3 options an picks the objectively worst outcome is absolutely the problem.

I'm not sure if you could ever see management as the problem.
