Resolving a Conflict in a Cross-Team SaaS Platform Migration

A cross-functional team is tasked with migrating a legacy SaaS platform to a modern cloud infrastructure. The design team insists on prioritizing a complete UI overhaul to enhance user experience, while the engineering team argues for focusing on backend stability and security. Both teams agree that each other's priorities are important but disagree on what should be tackled first. As the product manager, you need to resolve this conflict. You have limited resources, and cannot address both priorities simultaneously. Decide which priority to tackle first and justify your decision. If you have not faced this exact situation, describe how you would handle it.
