A manufacturing company's programme to automate its production line is midway through its second tranche.

**Case Study** A national transportation authority has launched the 'Smart Motorways' programme, aiming to reduce congestion and improve journey times across the country. The programme involves upgrading existing motorways with technology like variable speed limits, traffic monitoring systems, and automated incident detection. The programme is structured into three tranches, each focusing on a different geographical region. The Sponsoring Group is composed of senior officials from the Department of Transport and the national treasury. The Programme Board includes representatives from highway operations, technology vendors, and public safety agencies. The vision is 'a seamlessly connected and efficient national road network, enabled by intelligent technology.' However, six months into the first tranche, stakeholder engagement is proving difficult. Highway maintenance crews feel the new technology is being 'forced' on them without proper consultation, and public advocacy groups are raising privacy concerns about the increased traffic monitoring. The Programme Manager reports that two key projects within the first tranche—the central control software and the on-road sensor installation—are becoming misaligned. The software project is developing features that the hardware from the sensor project cannot support. This misalignment threatens to delay the delivery of the first tranche's capabilities and erode the programme's credibility. Which MSP principle has been MOST neglected, leading to the friction with highway crews and public advocacy groups?
