A change request is the first step, and I'm glad to see it's included in the process. This is an ambitious project, but I'm excited to see how it all plays out. I wonder if they'll offer a 'high-stakes' delivery option where the package is dropped from the helicopter without a parachute.

Updating the roadmap is a must. This new component will completely transform the company's delivery service. I just hope the customers don't start expecting their orders to be delivered by storks.
