Assess the impact on timeline, budget, and quality. Prioritize changes that align with core objectives. Communicate trade-offs clearly to stakeholders. If necessary, negotiate phased updates after launch to maintain momentum.

Check how the changes affect cost, time, and quality. Focus on the most important updates that match project goals. Talk with stakeholders about risks and what’s possible. Work with the team to find good solutions. Decide based on facts to keep the project on track.

as a leader, change requests from stakeholders ahead of a project launch are a challenge that tests the long-term value of human resources. the right decision must be based on a balance between meeting stakeholder expectations and safeguarding the well-being of the team. evaluating the impact of changes on workload, deadlines, and quality of deliverables is critical. open communication with the team, providing support, and involving them in finding solutions will boost morale and ownership. prioritize solutions that minimize the negative impact on the team and remain aligned with the organization's long-term vision.

To navigate decision-making with varying risk tolerances, understand each team member's comfort level, find common ground, break decisions into smaller parts, rely on data, and encourage open communication. This ensures balanced decisions that everyone can support.

I try to negotiate the release without changes, and I promote an analysis of an emergency action to launch soon in the short term the new demand to create a healthy environment between the team and stakeholders.
