How would you deal with changes being made a week or so before the ship date?

kurtz182- Member Since Nov-2009 | Dec 28th, 2009
I would determine the feasibility of meeting the ship date by evaluating the:
1) necessity of the change; [ why do we need it? ]
2) urgency of the change; [ can we defer it? ]
3) complexity of the change; [ how much time and effort will be required to test it? ]
4) risks involved with not including the change; [ what happens if we don't do it? ]
5) additional resources required to test the change [do I have the resources? ]
Then I would either rally the resources to test the change or I would deliver a (hopefully compelling) case against releasing on the target ship date based on my evaluations.kurtz182
