Stakeholder alignment must beginearly in the implementation lifecycle, not only during testing or deployment. Revenue Management spans product management, sales, pricing, legal, fulfillment, asset operations, finance, and billing, so cross-functional dependencies must be understood before design decisions become difficult to change.
Identifying champions and power users early gives the project direct access to operational expertise and creates internal advocates for adoption. Mapping stakeholder roles across discovery, design, build, testing, deployment, and post-go-live support establishes accountability for decisions and prevents critical teams from being introduced too late.
Option A delays stakeholder involvement and role mapping, increasing the risk that business requirements or cross-team impacts are discovered during build. Option C is even narrower because it limits power-user involvement to testing and postpones dependency analysis until deployment, when remediation is expensive.
The appropriate governance model therefore combinesearly stakeholder identification, cross-team dependency planning, and lifecycle-wide role mapping.
