During the execution of a project, a key stakeholder requests the addition of a new feature that was not included in the original requirements. As the business analyst, what is the BEST way to define acceptance criteria for this new feature?
Update the acceptance criteria by analyzing the new feature's impact and collaborating with stakeholders to define clear, testable criteria.
Suggest deferring the new feature to a future project phase to avoid disrupting the current schedule.
Add the new feature to the acceptance criteria without analysis to quickly accommodate the stakeholder's request.
Decline the stakeholder's request to maintain the original project scope and prevent delays.
The best approach is to update the acceptance criteria by analyzing the impact of the new feature and collaborating with relevant stakeholders to establish clear, testable criteria. This ensures that the new requirements are fully understood, agreed upon, and can be adequately tested upon delivery. Simply adding the feature without analysis may lead to misalignment with project objectives. Deferring or rejecting the request without consideration could harm stakeholder relationships or miss an opportunity for project enhancement.
