Answer / kumar rohit
The current requirement will be analyzed on feasibility
point of view that what may happen when a particular amount
of changes will be done in current system and whether it
will effect any current feature or not. If yes then upto,
which extent.
In general while incorporating changes impact will be
observed by seeing base line effects.

We can follow these steps:
#1. First need to understand changes (X changes)
#2. Areas it effects (changes in development / architecture
or just a new step) (n places)
#3. Update your traceability for functionality associated
with changes (existing requirements +/- x*n additional changes)

Answer / hunter walk
The question seems to be vague, considering the fact there can be various attributes other than just Change to call out for Impact Analysis like Resource, Material, Risk, Quality, Management, Issue etc.
Hi Santosh,
The ownership of who performs Impact Analysis cannot be determined unless the platform/area is defined which requires Impact analysis. For eg. a Tech PM as well needs to perform.
Roles/Designations differ as per Organizational structure so a System Analyst may as well be the Business Analyst.
