Why each option
Design coordination is not universally mandatory for all changes; its scope is determined by where the organization judges it to add value.
Limiting design coordination to only new services ignores scenarios where modifying or retiring existing services also requires coordinated design activity.
Mandating design coordination for every change regardless of size or complexity would create unnecessary process overhead for routine or low-risk changes.
Restricting design coordination to business-critical systems arbitrarily excludes other changes that could also benefit from structured design oversight.
ITIL service design coordination is a discretionary activity whose scope is set by the organization based on perceived benefit rather than a fixed rule. Applying it selectively where value is expected avoids disproportionate overhead on minor or standard changes while still ensuring coordinated design quality where it matters.
