You are the business analyst for your organization and you're working with Fran on business...

The type of business analysis stakeholder that Fran is in this scenario is project manager. According to the CCBA® Handbook1, a project manager is a stakeholder who is responsible for managing the project activities and ensuring that they are aligned with the business analysis activities. A project manager also collaborates with the business analyst to plan, monitor, and control the project scope, schedule, budget, and quality. The other options are not relevant to this scenario, as they describe different types of business analysis stakeholders, such as a regulator (A), who is a stakeholder who imposes constraints or standards on the solution, a sponsor ©, who is a stakeholder who authorizes and funds the initiative, or a domain subject matter expert (D), who is a stakeholder who has specialized knowledge or skills related to the business domain or the solution2. References: Business Analysis Expert Certification, CCBA® | IIBA®, CERTIFICATION OF CAPABILITY IN BUSINESS ANALYSIS
