D. Supporting change and scope management

I would select D. Chapter 5: Requirements Life Cycle Management in the BABOK. Specifically, the following points are relevant: Requirements Traceability: The BABOK discusses how traceability helps in tracking requirements throughout their life cycle, including their relationships to other requirements, project components, and deliverables. This is essential for managing changes effectively and understanding the impact of those changes on the project scope. Change Management: The chapter highlights that maintaining traceability assists in assessing the impact of changes to requirements, which is a critical part of scope management. This involves determining how new requests (such as additional requirements) will affect existing requirements, timelines, resources, and overall project objectives. Scope Management: The BABOK emphasizes that understanding the relationships between requirements and how they fit within the project’s goals is vital for managing scope creep and ensuring that the project remains aligned with business objectives.
