As a result of experiences on previous projects, a change authority has been established for the Health and Safety Training Project. A key client for the training materials has a representative on the project board.
Should their interests be represented within the change authority for the project, and why?
Yes, because a change authority should consider external stakeholder needs. Including a representative of a key client within the change authority ensures that any changes made during the project take into account the interests and requirements of significant external stakeholders. This promotes a more inclusive and comprehensive decision-making process that can improve the project's outcome by aligning it with the expectations of those who will be directly affected by its deliverables.
I think it is B because change is related with products that in turn are related to users; so it is good practice, whenever a change authority is required, to include in it user representatives.
D won't be the case for all changes --> the board member could reject a required change. C isn't true
If he rejects it, it means it's not required, no?
B. Yes, because a change authority should consider external stakeholder needs. It is advisable to include the interests of external stakeholders, such as key clients, within the change authority for a project, especially when their needs and requirements can significantly impact the project's success. This inclusion ensures that the change authority can consider and assess changes that are essential to meet external stakeholder needs and expectations. It also helps in maintaining a transparent and collaborative approach to managing changes that affect external parties' interests.
