PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA) — Question 102

The business analyst is planning an approach to formally manage updates to requirements that may be requested by stakeholders. What should the business analyst do?

Answer options

• A. Document changes as they occur.
• B. Obtain approval from the project sponsor.
• C. Develop a change control process.
• D. Hold firm on scope and reject changes.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, is appropriate because developing a change control process allows for a structured approach to managing requirement changes, ensuring that all modifications are evaluated and approved systematically. Options A and D are reactive and do not provide a formal method for managing changes, while B, while important, does not encompass the entire process needed for managing updates effectively.
