Which of the following is NOT an information gathering technique for identifying risks?

  1. Benchmarking

  2. Brainstorming

  3. Delphi Technique

  4. Root cause analysis

The correct answer is: Benchmarking

Benchmarking is NOT an information gathering technique for identifying risks. Benchmarking is a technique used to compare project practices or performance against other similar projects or organizations to identify best practices or areas for improvement. On the other hand, Brainstorming, Delphi Technique, and Root Cause Analysis are all commonly used information gathering techniques for identifying risks in a project. Brainstorming involves a group discussion to generate a list of potential risks, Delphi Technique involves collecting anonymous input from experts to reach a consensus on risks, and Root Cause Analysis involves investigating the underlying causes of risks to prevent them from reoccurring.
