During validation of a project solution, the business analyst discovers that a requirement has been altered. Instead of placing the company logo in the upper-left corner of the window, it is displayed in the upper-right corner. When the business analyst asks the developer about the change, the developer says that one of the stakeholders asked directly for the change. Which correct action should the business analyst take?
Answer: B
The correct action for the business analyst to take in this situation is to follow the change control process as defined in the business analysis plan. When a change is made to a requirement during the validation phase of a project, it is important to follow a defined process for managing and approving such changes. The business analysis plan should outline the steps to be taken when a change is identified, including who should be notified and how the impact of the change should be assessed. In this case, the business analyst should follow the change control process defined in the business analysis plan. This may involve seeking approval from the appropriate stakeholders, assessing the impact of the change on the project, and making any necessary updates to the project plan.
