Correct answer & explanation
✓
Change Authority
In PRINCE2, the Change Authority is a body to which the Project Board delegates responsibility for making decisions on change requests and off-specifications, within defined limits. This allows the board to focus on strategic oversight while empowering a separate group to handle change control efficiently. The Change Authority is formally defined in the 'Organize' process and its authority is documented in the Project Initiation Documentation.
