Project deadline

You're leading the development of a customer management platform. The project has hit some unexpected complexity. You would favor a two-week deadline extension for the first release, but your project manager Marcus insists on maintaining the original deadline. The interest behind your position is that you'd like to maintain high quality standards.

Your colleague's interests: "I have another major project starting right after this one, and any delay would mean I need to split my attention between two projects."

Possible solution(s): Release a first version with a slightly reduced feature set by the original deadline, with remaining deliverables phased over the following two weeks. Set aside time before the original deadline to plan delivery of remaining features so that Marcus can focus on subsequent projects.
