    In this activity, you will write an email to a senior stakeholder asking for an executive decision about a problem
    that has just surfaced in the project. 

    At the end of this activity, you should have a completed stakeholder email. Once submitted, your peers will
    review your completed email and provide feedback.

    1.2 Scenario
    less 

    Review the scenario below. Then complete the step-by-step instructions.

    Peta just found out that there has been an update to the tablet contract that affects the project budget. Based on
    this new information, Peta needs to explain the situation to Deanna and ask for specific guidance on how to
    proceed. Although Peta has interacted regularly with Deanna throughout the project, she is still a senior
    stakeholder who expects Peta to deliver the project goals on time and within budget. Peta keeps these facts in
    mind as she composes an email to Deanna.

    Step 2: Access supporting materials

    The following supporting materials will help you complete this activity. Keep them open as you proceed to the
    next steps. Each link below will open a new Coursera tab.

     Email: Tablet Contract Update


     Sauce & Spoon Company OKRs

    Note: To review supporting materials introduced in earlier activities, you can find them in the Resources section.

    Step 3: Review supporting materials

    Review the email exchange between Peta and Seydou about the update to the tablet pricing. You will use this
    information to write your email. As you review the supporting materials, take some notes, keeping in mind the
    changes proposed to tablet pricing and how Peta might explain the change to Deanna.

    Step 4: Compose the email

    Write an email to Deanna explaining the contract update and its impact on the project budget. Then ask her for
    an executive decision to approve the change in contract based on this new information.

    As you create your email, include a summary of the problem and its immediate impact on the project. For
    example, you may want to explore how the new cost of the tablets compares to the previous cost. Is it more or
    less expensive now? Will it be more or less expensive in the future? 

    Be sure to also state how the new situation may impact the Sauce & Spoon OKRs. For example, how will
    accepting or rejecting the new contract terms impact Sauce & Spoon’s OKR to “keep expenses low and our
    budget precise”?

    Finally, ask Deanna for an executive decision regarding the tablet contract update.

    Your completed email should include:

     A subject line
     A greeting
     An intro
     A body
     A conclusion
     A closing
