The business analysis plan also specifies the roles and responsibilities of the business analyst and other stakeholders involved in the change control process. The business analyst should follow the change control process as defined in the business analysis plan to ensure that any changes to the requirements are properly documented, analyzed, approved, communicated, and implemented. By following the change control process, the business analyst can avoid scope creep, maintain the quality and integrity of the requirements, and align the solution with the business needs and objectives. References: PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA)® Examination Content Outline1, page 24; Business Analysis for Practitioners: A Practice Guide2, page 133.
