CAPM Practice: Demonstrate an understanding of common problem-solving tools and techniques

The Nominal Group Technique involves individual silent idea generation, group sharing, discussion, and then voting or ranking to prioritize options. It structures group decision-making to ensure fair participation and reduce the influence of dominant personalities.

**Why not A:** Brainstorming is designed for open, free-flowing idea generation without judgment. The scenario describes a structured process where members independently rank existing solutions, which is characteristic of the Nominal Group Technique, not the unstructured ideation of brainstorming.

**Why not B:** Force field analysis identifies driving and restraining forces for or against a proposed change. It does not involve independent ranking of multiple solutions by participants. The technique described uses individual ranking and aggregation, which is specific to the Nominal Group Technique.

**Why not D:** The Delphi Technique involves multiple rounds of anonymous expert input, typically conducted through questionnaires with feedback between rounds to reach consensus. The scenario describes a single round of independent ranking in a group setting, which matches the Nominal Group Technique, not the iterative anonymous process of the Delphi method.
