The stakeholder of a new product that is in early adaptive development has requested a change to an approved feature. How should the business analyst (BA) handle this change?
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
The BA should handle the change request by adding the feature to the product backlog for future prioritization.
The product backlog is a list of features, functions, and requirements that are desired for the solution, but have not yet been planned or implemented. The product backlog is constantly updated and prioritized by the product owner, who represents the voice of the customer and the stakeholders. The BA should collaborate with the product owner to capture and document the change request and add it to the product backlog. The product owner will then decide when and how to prioritize the feature for the next iteration or release, based on the value and urgency of the feature and the feedback from the stakeholders.
