“Midway through a 5G certification program, the carrier released an updated
requirements version with new test cases, a few weeks before lab entry. I
started by sizing the change with the engineers: which requirements changed,
which were mandatory for approval, and which tests we could already run versus
those that waited on a test equipment release. The owners gave me effort and
risk ranges, and I took options to the stakeholders: absorb it, trade
lower-priority work, ask the carrier for a later effective date, or move the
date, with my recommendation and the schedule and cost of each. We chose trade
lower priority work I re-baselined the Plan of Record, told the teams and the
customer what changed and why, and added the new cases to our pre-lab validation
so failures showed up in our own lab. We met the lab entry date in time, and I
made delta review a fixed quarterly step so changes stopped being emergencies.”
