 When we run project, especially in execution stage there is always Eng raises their hand saying oh, I can not accept this feature due to …what if …….

You know they do not know what contract scope defined. They sometimes try to protect themselves and ignore contract SOW.

PM should be aware of following contract is the first priority otherwise scope is going to be divergence. SOW can be revised but should follow Change Request process. We have change control board to determine Go or No Go.

The person raised their hand has to explain why they break( supposed RFP, contract SOW, Specification, bidder conference, proposal presentation etc. their department was involved) and what is the impact and respond plan before change control board review. We are responsible for our own comment instead just throw out an issue and waiting for project to solve.

 PM’s responsibility is to protect project from failure trying to eliminate not necessary requirement/noise is important as well.
