We're in the implementation phase of an ops workflow project. The tool is already purchased, the team is trained, and now a department lead keeps sending suggestions for alternatives we should have considered earlier. Some of the ideas are genuinely good. That's what makes it awkward. I don't want to discourage someone who's trying to improve things, but reopening every decision would put the timeline at risk.

My current approach is to acknowledge the suggestion, put it in a visible backlog, and bring it up during the post-launch review.

The tricky part is making sure that doesn't sound like a polite way of saying "we're never looking at this again."

How do you handle late suggestions from stakeholders without making them feel ignored or constantly reopening settled decisions?
