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

If you argue for “perfect,” you risk being framed as a blocker.
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.
