PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA) — Question 54

A project that was ongoing well for the last few months has encountered a situation-regulatory authorities have deemed that the project does not meet their requirements. Although regulatory requirements were identified during an earlier phase of the project, there is no substantial evidence to prove that the requirements were formally rejected.
This could have been avoided if:

Answer options

• A. the customer met with regulatory authorities to verify that their requirements were also considered.
• B. a change control process for requirements and their statuses was followed.
• C. the project manager circulated the meeting minutes after the discussions with all the attendees.
• D. the project team documented customer requests and obtained sign-off.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because having a change control process in place ensures that all requirements and their statuses are formally tracked and managed, reducing the risk of non-compliance. Options A, C, and D, while beneficial, do not directly address the need for a systematic approach to managing requirements and changes, which is crucial in adhering to regulatory standards.
