Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 19

You are the business analyst for your organization and you're working with several stakeholders to identify, manage, and approve requirements. Your organization requires using a plan-driven approach to business analysis and changing management. In this approach, who is most likely to approve changes to requirements?

Answer options

• A. Change control board
• B. Requirements owner
• C. Project sponsor
• D. Project manager

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, the Requirements owner, as they have the ultimate authority over the requirements and are responsible for approving any changes. The Change control board (A) typically oversees the process but does not directly approve individual requirement changes, while the Project sponsor (C) and Project manager (D) may have input, they do not have the final say on requirement modifications.
