Which of the following are specific VM facilitator tasks to be completed prior to the VM study workshop?
Choose 2 answers.
The correct answers are A and B because both are facilitator responsibilities performed during the Pre-Workshop / Preparation Phase. The SAVE study guide defines this stage as the point where the team must ''Plan and organize the Value Study'' and asks the fundamental question: ''What has to be done to prepare for a Value Study?'' Its listed activities include obtaining project data, collecting key documents such as scope definitions, drawings, specifications, reports, estimates, gathering customer/user information, distributing information to team members, developing the study schedule, and determining dates, times, location, and logistical needs.

Therefore, compiling information for use in the Information Phase is a proper facilitator task. Likewise, developing a high-level agenda or schedule and reviewing it with the client for concurrence is consistent with the preparation requirement to establish scope, objectives, timing, logistics, roles, responsibilities, and management expectations before the workshop begins.
Option C is incorrect because Implementation occurs after the workshop when accepted alternatives are reviewed, action plans are assigned, and changes are tracked.
