And some of what they forgot….
* What is the COST of the change?” (broken away from the Resources question)
* What is the TIMELINE for implementing the change?
Other than that, I believe that these are meaningful and well-rounded questions, They can serve as a good foundation for a Request for Change template and informed Change Advisory Board discussions.
That is a valuable contribution! Do you have any experience using this 7 R model??
