Special purpose records could fit too, but not the best choice.

Wait, is this really called Activity sampling? Sounds odd.

Prototyping is for design, not tracking tasks!

Definitely not shadowing, that's something else.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think "Activity sampling" was the answer, but I might be mixing it up with something else.

"Special purpose records" sounds familiar, but I can't recall if that's the correct technique for tracking tasks over time.

I remember something about "shadowing" being used for observing tasks, but it doesn't quite fit the description here.

I think this might be related to "Activity sampling," but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right term.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Is it Shadowing, where the analyst observes the user? Or is it something else, like Prototyping where the user tests a new system? I'll have to think about this one a bit more.

Okay, let me think this through. The key details are that the business user is keeping track of their actual tasks over time. That sounds like a "special purpose record" to me, so I'll go with option C.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. Is it Prototyping, where the user tests out a new system or process? Or maybe Activity sampling, where the analyst periodically checks in on the user's work?

This seems like a straightforward question. I think the answer is Shadowing, where the business analyst observes the user's actual work activities.

Activity sampling? Now that's more like it. Probably the best way to get a snapshot of what's actually happening without the user feeling like they're being watched 24/7.

Special purpose records? Sounds like they're going to make the business user fill out a form in triplicate every time they sneeze. Talk about micromanagement!

Prototyping? I thought that was for designing new products, not investigating business processes. Maybe the analyst wants to build a miniature office and see how the tasks play out.

Shadowing? Isn't that when you hire a bodyguard to follow you around all day? I guess it could work for a business analyst too, but it might get a little awkward.

Oh, I see. So it's like having a shadow follow you around at work.
