Which of the following statements about the workshop investigation technique are TRUE? a) Permits the impartial, long-term observation of business…

The true statements about workshops are b and c. Workshops are collaborative, structured meetings

involving multiple stakeholders. Statement (b) is true because having multiple stakeholders present

allows the facilitator (often the BA) to immediately cross-check and resolve conflicting information or

assumptions in real-time. Statement (c) is true because the group environment, led by a skilled

facilitator, is highly effective for discussing differing viewpoints and working towards a consensus or

agreed-upon outcome. Statement (a) is false as this describes formal observation, not a workshop.

Statement (d) is false; workshops are primarily used to gather qualitative information (opinions,

requirements, process logic), not to collect accurate quantitative data (e.g., process timings or

volumes), which is usually obtained from documents or system logs.
