A company's project management office (PMO) has been trying to implement an adaptive approach in the project management framework and a project manager has been asked to use adaptive tools in their ne

Preparing a change request for a new approach doesn't address the underlying issue of past failures or how to successfully implement the PMO's mandate with better results.

While gathering stakeholder concerns is important, it does not provide the expertise needed to overcome the past implementation failures of adaptive tools.

Given the PMO's strong desire for adaptive approaches and the company's previous internal failures, bringing in a third party to develop and implement a hybrid framework is a pragmatic solution. This leverages external expertise to create a tailored approach that mitigates past risks and effectively integrates adaptive tools, increasing the likelihood of success.

Directly recommending against the PMO's directive might not be well-received and does not offer a constructive solution to their stated goal of adopting adaptive approaches.
