A project is implemented using a predictive approach. Unfortunately, a lot of change requests (CR) have been raised. A project manager (PM), who should approve each change request, is overworked.
What could the business analyst (BA) propose to make things better?
Revisiting the Business Analysis Governance approach helps in identifying and resolving ambiguities in the governance process. It provides a clear structure for decision-making regarding change requests, including identifying who has the authority and responsibility for each step. By doing this, the business analyst can streamline the approval process, ensuring that it is more efficient and less burdensome for the project manager.
Ans is C BABOK V-3 3.3 Plan Business Analysis Governance - Business analysts ensure that a governance process is in place and clarify any ambiguities within it. A governance process identifies the decision makers, process, and information required for decisions to be made. A governance process describes how approvals and prioritization decisions are made for requirements and designs. When planning the governance approach, business analysts identify: • how business analysis work will be approached and prioritized, • what the process for proposing a change to business analysis information is, • who has the authority and responsibility to propose changes and who should be involved in the change discussions, • who has responsibility for analyzing change requests, • who has the authority to approve changes, and • how changes will be documented and communicated.
