Most PMs are measured on delivery.
Roadmap progress. Releases. Stakeholder visibility.
You are measured on quality. They are measured on movement.

Senior Move
Redefine quality in terms of:
Reduced rework
Faster iteration cycles
Lower support load
Better retention
Tie quality to speed.
Today’s Action
Before pushing back on scope, translate your concern into delivery risk.
