Personally, I'd just tell the project manager to 'test' their new release date by shoving it where the sun don't shine. That'll really shake things up!

Convincing the team that they're all important and needed? That's a no-brainer. Keeping morale high is crucial during crunch time.

Adjusting the test coverage based on risk analysis is a smart move. We need to make sure we're focusing on the most critical areas and not wasting time on low-priority risks.
