The change control board (CCB) has approved a change request to add a new component...

Lead a root cause analysis workshop with the design team to identify the failures that led to the decision to add a component that was not compatible with the production line.

Meet with the operations manager to explain the background for the change and understand the operation manager's concerns about the change.

Escalate the issue to the project sponsor, as the decision to add the component brings many benefits even though it will be disruptive to the production line.

Formally acknowledge the operation manager's concerns and raise a new risk that the project may deliver late and over budget due to manufacturing difficulties.
