Why each option
This question tests where a business analyst should look to find guidance on communicating scope change findings and decisions to the wider stakeholder group.
The Stakeholder Communications Plan specifies what information is communicated, to which stakeholders, through which channels, and at what frequency. For a scope change assessment, this plan would directly define how findings and final decisions are distributed to the wider stakeholder group, making it the correct reference for a BA unsure of communication protocols.
The business case documents the justification and expected benefits for the initiative and does not specify communication procedures for project changes.
Business policies are organizational rules governing operations and conduct, not a source of guidance for communicating project change decisions.
The governance approach defines decision-making structures and escalation paths but does not detail the communication logistics for distributing decisions to the broader stakeholder group.
