Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) — Question 361

You are creating the solution scope for an identified problem in your organization. You are working with several stakeholders during this process including the domain subject matter expert, the implementation subject matter expert, the project manager, and the sponsor.
Which of these stakeholders will be responsible for writing the project scope?

Answer options

• A. Domain subject matter expert
• B. Business analyst
• C. Project manager
• D. Sponsor

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The project manager is typically responsible for writing the project scope as they oversee the project and ensure that all requirements are met. The domain subject matter expert provides specialized knowledge, the business analyst gathers requirements but does not usually write the scope, and the sponsor provides support and funding but is not directly involved in the scope creation.
