Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a business analyst sets a goal for the number of ideas to be generated during a brainstorming session, it actually limits the number of ideas that the group can generate. For example, if Brian sets the goal of 25 ideas, then once the group reaches 25, the session ends instead of urging more ideas into the session. Answer: C is incorrect. While it's possible that the goal may be too large to be feasible for the session, this isn't the best choice presented. Answer: B is incorrect. A goal may put pressure on the group, but the best answer is that the goal for the number of ideas may actually limit the number of ideas created. Answer: A is incorrect. This isn't a valid statement as Brian should not create a goal.
