pressure management
Handling demanding situations
Pressure management is the practice of controlling or regulating pressure in a system—whether physical, organizational, or psychological.
In engineering, it refers to maintaining safe pressure levels in pipelines, vessels, or hydraulic systems: The plant's pressure management system prevented a dangerous buildup.
In business and personal contexts, it means handling stress or demands effectively: Good pressure management keeps the team productive during crunch time.
