In one of the projects that I was managing as a TPM, I had multiple key projects which I was already working upon with more than 20 SDE's. I had no bandwidth for this one but I was guided to work upon this mainly from project tracking standpoint. During the end of the year I could see that the stakeholder had more expectations from me. I clarified the situation and also iterated the alignment we had initially. But post that I have made a point to take up things only where you can take 100% ownership

I recall an incident where all members showed their dissatisfaction when they need to work extra hours to promote a critical change to live. It was a critical change provided by the client last moment a few hours before the launch and it was really tough to team members to incorporate it.  I need to address it from my side for the client. I called a meeting with my team members. I discussed with them about the requirement and its criticality, and asked suggestions how we can address this situation and I met the client and understand them the consequence of last moment changes and the way how we can address the issue. I summed with a satisfied way to both team and the client. After this incident team was more confident about their work.
