A project plan must reflect doing the work within the constraints of your own businesses which includes processes and tools. If the addressing process changes due to the platform implementation was not originally within the scope of your project, then that is a scope increase.
I would estimate the additional cost to do the work of the other business areas not supporting their own RAAs. I would then bring that estimate to the sponsor and ask whether that unplanned work would should be charged to the platform implementation, the project budget will be changed to account for the new work, or if they plan to absorb the scope increase within the current project budget.
The project plan included the constraints and what is being raised is the lack of resources to support the demand. This is unrelated to the new platform recently implemented. As the PM, I was hesitant to facilitating a meeting with key stakeholders to address these issues, yet no one is taking the lead and to Rami's input it's causing confusion and being misdirect to the system instead of the business areas focusing on who has RAA within their areas. My concern is that if I facilitate this meeting it will fall on my shoulders to lead these discussions until resolve, but maybe I should lead the initial meeting to then pass it on to Bus to continue the cadence. Appreciate the feedback.
