Suggested Answer: D

The parts of the Business Change lifecycle that the business analyst will have supported are Realisation, Design and Implementation. Realisation is the phase where the benefits defined in the benefits plan are evaluated and measured. The business analyst will support this phase by assisting in the evaluation of the benefits (a). Design is the phase where the elements that will support the change are defined and developed. The business analyst will support this phase by leading requirements elicitation and clarification activities (b). Implementation is the phase where the change is embedded into the organisation and its processes. The business analyst will support this phase by delivering coaching, training and ongoing support for any changes to existing processes .

Ah, the joys of organizational restructuring. Harvey's probably doing a happy dance now that he's the big boss of the HR project. Gotta keep that guy on a short leash, or he might start handing out free massages and spa days to all the employees!

As the Director of HR, Harvey's role and influence on the project have clearly increased. Ignoring him as a stakeholder was appropriate when he was just the Director of Operations, but now that he's the sponsor, he needs constant active management. Option B is the right choice here.
