Why each option
Design coordination is applied at the organization's discretion to any change where it believes coordination will add value, rather than being mandated universally or restricted to specific categories.
Limiting design coordination only to new services excludes significant modifications to existing services that may equally require cross-functional design oversight.
Mandating design coordination for all changes regardless of size or complexity creates unnecessary overhead and resource waste for minor or routine changes.
Restricting design coordination solely to business-critical systems is an overly narrow interpretation that ignores other types of changes that could also benefit from coordinated design review.
Design coordination scope is determined by organizational judgment - it is applied to any change where the organization believes the activity will be beneficial. This flexible approach prevents wasted effort on trivial changes while ensuring high-value changes receive appropriate coordination. ITIL Service Design guidance leaves scope determination to the organization based on its specific needs and risk appetite.
