Explanation

Project governance refers to the framework of rules, processes, and decision-making structures that guide how a project is directed and controlled. Option A - a process for approving changes - is correct because change control is a core governance mechanism: it defines who has authority to approve changes, how requests are evaluated, and what criteria must be met, ensuring accountability and oversight.

Option B (annual strategy planning) is a strategic planning activity, not project governance - it operates at the organizational level, not the project level. Option C (informal surveys) is a feedback-gathering technique, lacking the formal authority or control structure that governance requires. Option D (a job description for a network architect) is an HR/organizational artifact, not a mechanism for directing or controlling a project.

Memory tip: Think of governance as "guardrails with gatekeepers" - if an option describes a formal process that controls who decides what and how, it's governance. Change approval fits perfectly; the other options describe planning, opinions, or roles.
