A new stakeholder joins late and demands changes. How do you respond?

< 1 min read

First, I would understand the stakeholder’s requirements and the reason for the requested changes.
I would review whether the changes align with the original dashboard objectives and existing requirements.
Next, I would assess the impact of the requested changes on the project timeline, data model, and current deliverables.
For example, in one project a late stakeholder requested additional regional metrics which required new data fields.
I would discuss the impact clearly with the stakeholder and explain what changes are feasible at the current stage.
If the change is critical, I would work with the team to prioritize it within the scope.
If it is a large change, I would suggest including it in the next iteration or dashboard version.
Finally, I would communicate the agreed approach with all stakeholders to keep expectations aligned.
