‘Hi team, I wanted to circle back on our earlier conversation about the Q4 roadmap. After further alignment with leadership, we’ve decided to pivot our approach. Going forward, we’ll need to right-size our expectations and focus on quick wins that move the needle. Let’s touch base next week to ensure we’re all rowing in the same direction. Please cascade this to your respective teams.’
