During a program, your sponsor insists on completing the final milestone two months sooner without adjusting the deliverables. Which approach helps align the sponsor’s perception with the program’s constraints?
Postpone necessary workshops and reassign current resources to meet the new date without explaining any potential impact to the sponsor
Conduct a detailed assessment of the sponsor’s request and discuss practical trade-offs to reach a shared agreement on timeline adjustments
Implement the requested schedule changes and inform other stakeholders after the revised plan is confirmed
Accept the sponsor’s shortened milestone timeline, then ask the sponsor to address any unforeseen issues if they occur
Conducting a comprehensive review of the sponsor’s request, explaining the impacts on scope, budget, and resource allocation, and then involving the sponsor in understanding trade-offs is a solid way to set proper expectations. It ensures the sponsor grasps the downstream effects of compressing the timeline. Other choices either ignore potential risks or defer the discussion, leading to surprise setbacks.
