What is the best thing a PM should do when priorities change all time and resources on your project that you don't necessarily manage, got impacted so they end up delaying the project?

Thank you.

Thank you, Kiron.
Agree.
I was wondering if you have seen often similar situations.

All the time in companies which are project-centric and not product/service-centric where they don't have a good handle on the flow of their work or their portfolio management practices.

I fell the best way to deal with these kind of environments is to use short sprints to manage your project and keep your project plan fluid and flexible. This will help you plan for the near future while keeping an eye on the overall project timeline.
