Answer: D
The chair of the steering committee should be a senior
person (executive level manager) with the authority to make
decisions relating to the business requirements, resources,
priority and deliverables of the system. The chief
information officer (CIO) would not normally be the chair,
although the CIO or his representative would be a member to
provide input on organization wide strategies. The project
manager and the business analyst do not have an appropriate
level of authority within the organization,
