Your Mission
As a Project Manager at TechSolutions, you will be responsible for managing the expectations of the client InnovateCorp and the DevOps development team. The main challenge is to mediate between InnovateCorp, which suffered a $500,000 loss due to a failed DevOps implementation, and the development team with low morale and concerns about unrealistic deadlines. You will need to gather feedback from the team, understand their concerns, and negotiate solutions with the client. Your goal is to propose a detailed compromise plan that includes the implementation of new automated tests, optimization of microservices, and a realistic timeline for integrating the new security module.
