Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) — Question 210

The stakeholder of a new product that is in early adaptive development has requested a change to an approved feature. How should the business analyst (BA) handle this change?

Answer options

• A. Change the business analysis approach to predictive
• B. Obtain formal approval through change request process
• C. Add the feature to the product backlog for future prioritization
• D. Include the requirement in the next iteration

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because obtaining formal approval through a change request process ensures that all stakeholders are aligned and that changes are documented properly. Option A is incorrect as changing the analysis approach is not necessary for handling a feature request. Option C does not address the immediate need for approval, and D does not follow the required protocol for changes to approved features.
