Navigating competing priorities as an engineer

How can you prioritize when everyone’s ask is an urgency and you don’t have time to fit it all in?

You’re in the trenches, knee-deep in code, and you can almost taste the sweet victory of a problem solved. Just then, an email alert disrupts your focus – another fire to put out, another deadline to meet. And so the never-ending cycle of competing priorities begins. 

As software engineers, we juggle multiple projects and tasks on a daily basis. Deadlines collide, emergencies pop up, and stakeholders make last-minute requests. Navigating these competing priorities is a constant challenge. 

While you can’t eliminate competing priorities, you can develop strategies to manage them effectively.
