A BA is managing a change request that affects multiple requirements. The impact analysis shows that the change will delay the project by two weeks and increase costs by 5%. The sponsor is willing to accept the delay and cost increase, but the BA is concerned about the impact on a related requirement that is critical to regulatory compliance. What should the BA do?

Escalate the issue to the project sponsor for a final decision

Reject the change because it may affect regulatory compliance

Conduct a detailed impact analysis on the compliance-related requirement and present the findings to the CCB

Approve the change since the sponsor has accepted the schedule and cost impact

A BA is preparing a monthly status report for a large program. The report will be reviewed by the program sponsor, who is primarily interested in whether the project is on track to deliver the expected business value. Which type of report would be most useful to the sponsor?

A detailed list of all requirement statuses, including approval dates and owners

A summary of key performance indicators (KPIs) showing progress toward business objectives and any risks or issues

A technical report on the number of test cases passed and failed during the last sprint

A financial report showing the project's actual vs. planned expenditure

A BA is working on a project where the requirements are not well-defined and the scope is expected to evolve. The BA needs to establish a traceability approach that supports change control and monitoring. What should the BA do?

Establish a lightweight traceability matrix that can be easily updated as requirements evolve

Avoid traceability until the requirements are fully defined

Use a complex traceability tool that requires extensive training
