# Small changes can add up to a different project. · The nearest delivery date

All stories are fictional. They do not describe specific people, companies or projects. Any resemblance is coincidental.

The client asks for another scenario, then a change to the workflow and an additional integration. Each request looks reasonable on its own. The team accepts them between existing tasks, but the original date and budget no longer match the work.

## Where we could start

I would collect the changes and clarify what is essential for the nearest date. With the team, I would prepare options to reduce or split the stage, then agree the choice with the client.

## What you would have

Options for the next release scope and a separate list of deferred changes.

## Participants

The client, project lead and specialists assessing dependencies.

## Roles and decisions

The team assesses realistic timings; the client approves acceptable scope changes.

## Factual experience, separate from the fictional story
