A complete overhaul? Wow, that's a pretty big ask. Our current plan was to refine the existing one, not rebuild it from scratch. Did they give any specific reasons for such a drastic change?
English
彻底改造？哇，这要求可真不小。我们目前的计划是改进现有的，而不是从头开始重建。他们有没有给出如此剧烈变更的具体原因？

They feel the current structure doesn't meet their evolving reporting needs for advanced user behavior tracking. This definitely falls under scope creep. We need to assess the full implications on our timeline and budget.
English
他们认为当前的结构无法满足他们对高级用户行为跟踪不断演变的报告需求。这绝对属于范围蔓延。我们需要评估这对我们的时间表和预算的全面影响。

Okay, from a development standpoint, a rebuild means a significant increase in development hours, testing, and potential integration issues. We'd be looking at weeks, possibly months, of additional work. It's a huge undertaking.
English
好的，从开发角度来看，重建意味着开发时间、测试和潜在集成问题的显著增加。我们可能需要数周，甚至数月额外的工时。这是一个巨大的工程。

Exactly. Emily, what's your take on the user experience side? Would a complete redesign provide a disproportionate benefit compared to iterative improvements?
English
没错。艾米莉，从用户体验方面看你的意见呢？一个彻底的重新设计与迭代改进相比，是否能带来不成比例的益处？
中文翻译

Emily
第 6 轮
While a fresh approach has appeal, it re-opens a lot of UX research and design phases we've already completed. We could offer them an enhanced version with new modules for the requested tracking, instead of a full redo. That would be less disruptive.
English
虽然全新的方法很有吸引力，但这会重新开启我们已经完成的许多用户体验研究和设计阶段。我们可以向他们提供一个增强版本，包含他们请求的跟踪新模块，而不是完全重做。那样造成的干扰会小得多。

I agree with Emily. Proposing an alternative, phased approach would be a good strategy. We can present the cost and time implications of a full rebuild versus an enhanced version. It gives them options without completely derailing our current schedule.
English
我同意艾米莉的看法。提出一个替代性的、分阶段的方法会是一个好的策略。我们可以展示完全重建和增强版本的时间和成本影响。这给了他们选择，同时也不会完全打乱我们目前的计划。

Excellent. So, the plan is to formally respond by tomorrow. We'll present the significant impact of the full overhaul, provide a revised timeline and budget for that option, and then propose Emily's enhanced module approach as a more feasible alternative. I'll draft the communication. Any questions?
English
太好了。那么，计划是明天正式回复。我们将说明全面改造的重大影响，为该选项提供修订后的时间表和预算，然后提出艾米莉的增强模块方法作为更可行的替代方案。我来起草这份沟通稿。还有其他问题吗？

Sounds like a solid plan, Sarah. Let's make sure to highlight the value of the enhanced option in terms of still meeting their core needs.
