At present Romani is managing this with EMs and the client to make sure , client approves the UAT 3 release.
Client is intentionally trying to drag the work and drag release acceptance.
Client intention is to get out of scope items also fixed

Right now this is at EM level. If required this will be escalated to me and to directors too to get involved.
Valorem
Client doesn’t follow a proper project management process. Therefore the work getting allocated to the team does not get managed properly. Less processes makes it difficult to offer better results.
This will impact the teams performance
