It's a tough call, but I think the requirements baseline and scope negotiation is the way to go. At least that way, the client is informed and can make a decision based on the actual needs and constraints. Trying to hide the budget and schedule issues is just going to backfire in the long run.

Absolutely. Transparency is key here. Notifying the client about the potential for a cost overrun is just asking for trouble. They're gonna feel like they've been blindsided, and that's not going to go over well.

Yeah, I agree. And refusing to work on the project? That's just going to damage the company's reputation. The best option seems to be developing a requirements baseline and negotiating the scope. That way, the client knows what they're getting upfront.

Wow, this question really puts the business analyst in a tricky situation. I mean, accepting the contract and only delivering part of the requirements seems like a bad idea. That's just setting the client up for disappointment, you know?
