Why each option
The project manager is typically responsible for managing and approving minor changes and updates to project documentation like the project management plan.
The Project Manager (PM) is generally empowered to approve minor changes and corrections, especially those related to grammar, spelling, or formatting, in project documentation such as the project management plan. Such an incidental error typically falls within the PM's authority for document control and maintenance, without requiring formal Change Control Board intervention.
The Change Control Board (CCB) is usually convened for significant changes that impact scope, budget, schedule, or quality, not minor typographical corrections.
The Project Sponsor provides overall project funding and high-level direction, but typically delegates day-to-day document maintenance and minor corrections to the Project Manager.
A Business Analyst primarily focuses on requirements gathering and analysis, not the authorization of changes to project management plans.
Concept tested: Project manager authority for minor changes
