How can a SWOT analysis help when deciding between several possible options to address a business problem?
A national company with offices in every state in the country has deployed a solution to allow employees to view their health benefits online. The business analyst on the project team is validating solution results to assess whether or not the solution has achieved the desired business result.
Which is the best technique to gather information from employees regarding their satisfaction with the solution?
A survey is a technique that involves collecting information from a large number of people by asking them questions and analyzing the results. Surveys are often used to measure the satisfaction, opinions, preferences, or attitudes of customers, employees, or other stakeholders. Surveys can be conducted through various methods, such as mail, online, phone, or in-person. Surveys are a suitable technique for gathering information from employees regarding their satisfaction with the solution because:
Surveys can reach a large and geographically dispersed population of employees across the country.
Surveys can allow employees to provide anonymous and honest feedback without being influenced by peer pressure or group dynamics.
Surveys can use standardized and quantifiable questions that can be easily analyzed and compared.
Surveys can be cost-effective and time-efficient compared to other techniques that require more resources and coordination.
