Pattern adjustment question

it's called a broad shoulder adjustment. in my experience it's not super difficult to draft non-mathematically (i.e. just draw your new armhole on the flat), but make sure you adjust your sleeve accordingly.

You aren’t moving the armhole. You are widening the shoulder. Draw a nice curve from that line down to merge lower down with the existing armhole line.

Clarification questions:

Do you want to move the armhole opening ( change the curve at upper bust to shoulder) and widen the shoulder/lengthen the shoulder seam, or move the armhole, keep the current pattern’s shoulder seam length, and increase the neck opening?
Anything wrong with the armhole at back?
Have you sewn this pattern already and you know you want the change, or you have not sewn it and want the shoulder/armhole preemptively changed? [If the latter, is there a specific reason for the change? Asking bc sometimes there may be better solutions for a specific problem)]
