An ongoing software upgrade program includes multiple sub-projects. A sponsor suggests a specialized data archiving component with different technical requirements. The sponsor wants quick approval for this change. Which approach is most likely to maintain the program's objectives and benefits when handling this request?
Accept the request based on the sponsor’s backing, avoiding time-consuming procedures
Deny changes to preserve the original scope and prevent rework
Evaluate the request against the change management plan, document impacts, and follow the governance process for approval
Robust change control practices ensure the suggested component is carefully evaluated for implications to program scope, cost, or deadlines. Following a documented change management plan involves analyzing the request, consulting decision-makers, and confirming through governance. Approving the request prematurely can create financial or scheduling complications. Dismissing the sponsor’s suggestion disregards potential benefits and can harm stakeholder engagement.
