ABC Company has a number of projects in progress. The executive of the Health and Safety Training Project is also a member of the project board for two other projects and is very busy. As a result, during this initiation stage, the executive has appointed another person to carry out both their business assurance and the role of change authority for minor and medium severity issues.
Is this appropriate, and why?
It is appropriate because people who have been delegated project assurance responsibilities are authorized to act as the change authority. This ensures that the necessary oversight and capability for managing changes are in place, even if the executive is busy with other responsibilities.
Refer 7.2.1.6 Page 65 The project manager and/or the people with delegated project assurance responsibilities may act as the change authority.
The answer is A. Yes, because people with delegated project assurance roles may act as the change authority.
