The business case must be approved by the board; unauthorized changes are not allowed.

You are the project manager for a construction project with a project board consisting of an executive (who is also the senior user), a senior supplier, and a separate senior user.

The business case is still viable, but the project is behind schedule. What should you do?

Trap 1: Escalate to the senior supplier immediately

The issue is with the executive; the senior supplier may not be the right first step.

Trap 2: Ignore the executive's instructions and continue with the project…

Ignoring the executive may create conflict and is not appropriate.

This would formalize the bypassing, which is not the correct approach.
