PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA) — Question 61

The project team has all the document control process and versioning in place to capture the requirements changes. The team ensures that the change is documented in the scope document, resulting in the changed work breakdown structure (WBS) and schedule. However, a key requirement was not implemented in the release.
Which is a possible reason why the requirement was not implemented?

Answer options

• A. The requirements management plan was not updated with the change.
• B. The requirements traceability matrix was not updated with the change.
• C. The scope management plan was not updated with the change.
• D. The schedule management plan was not updated with the change.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because if the scope management plan is not updated to reflect the change, it can lead to misunderstandings about what is included in the project. Options A and B pertain to requirements management and traceability, which are critical but secondary to ensuring that the scope is accurately defined. Option D refers to schedule management, which is also important, but without the scope being correctly defined, the requirement may not even be recognized as needing implementation.
