Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 243

A product owner asked for a change in one of the requirements during the elicitation phase. What should the business analyst do?

Answer options

• A. Provide the information to the product manager for approval.
• B. Provide the information to the project manager to seek approval or rejection.
• C. Accept the modification and update the requirements traceability matrix.
• D. Reject the change as the project scope has already been defined.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the business analyst should accept the change and update the requirements traceability matrix to reflect the new requirements. Option A and B suggest seeking approval from others, which may delay the process unnecessarily, and option D is incorrect as it dismisses the importance of adapting to changes during the project.
