Answer:

Satisficing

Explanation:

Satisficing is a concept referring to pursue of eligibility criteria(s), course of actions; which are adequate only to satisfy the necessary minimum requirements for accomplishment of a goal.

Grant (software manager) is busy working on new & existing products, & the time crunch makes him adopt operational philosophy of going with minimum accepted standards of performance.
