Company A recently signed a contract with a strategic business partner, Company B, to jointly roll out a new technology. Company B is excited about the joint marketing opportunity. Company A's component Quality Assurance team has expressed concerns to you, the program manager, that the product is being rolled out prematurely and has identified potential issues with backend support systems. QA, however, assures you that a manual work around is possible, but not ideal.
Company B requests an enhancement to the new product. In a meeting with Company B, you determine that additional funding will be required and resources allocated and scheduled.
