Correct its A pg no 40

When preparing a governance approach, particularly regarding the approval process, the BA needs to consider various factors that affect how approvals are obtained and who is involved in the process. The most relevant factors are: • Organizational culture: The way approvals are typically handled in the organization, whether informal or formal, hierarchical or collaborative, will influence how the approval process is structured. • Type of information being approved: Different types of information (e.g., high-level strategic decisions vs. detailed technical specifications) may require different approval processes. Sensitive or critical information may need more formal approval, while routine decisions might only require informal review. These factors help the BA define a process that aligns with the organization’s practices and ensures that the appropriate stakeholders are involved in the approval of key deliverables.
