A stakeholder proposes adding a new feature that may affect schedule and budget. Which approach is best to evaluate and process this request while maintaining program objectives?
Permit the feature if it does not exceed the budget, leaving the schedule to be determined after completion
Implement the request to keep the stakeholder satisfied, then inform higher authorities of the change
Assess cost and schedule impacts, confirm alignment with strategic goals, and follow formal submission steps
The best approach involves systematically reviewing the request for alignment with scope and strategic objectives, conducting an impact assessment, and submitting the proposal to the change control board for a decision. This ensures that all implications, such as budget, schedule, and stakeholder commitments, are considered. A request that is implemented without evaluation skips the formal processes and may create unapproved scope. A proposal that is introduced outside the existing governance framework can lead to confusion and misalignment with overall objectives.
