PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA) — Question 37

Two weeks prior to the delivery date, a customer changes the business requirements. What should the business analyst do?

Answer options

• A. Deliver the existing product and then begin work on the requested changes.
• B. Ask the developers to implement the changes.
• C. Trace the requirements and measure the impact of the requested changes on the existing delivery date.
• D. Schedule a review by the change control board (CCB) to determine next steps.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because it involves analyzing the impact of the changes on the project timeline, which is crucial for managing expectations and planning. Options A and B do not address the implications of the changes, while option D, though relevant, delays the decision-making process instead of assessing the immediate impact.
