Evaluation of Inquiry tools; Focus Group

I have discussed my inquiry tasks with my focus group,  I chose my focus group as my work colleagues.

I am not sure it was a great choice of group, as I see them everyday and work together. As I have written on my observation journal that, people do tend to pick up each others habits with out noticing and also people`s life style has become very similar if you work at same place as share the same time schedule, if life style becomes similar, people`s personality and onions become similar with out realising.

Advantage;
Advantage of choosing my colleagues as a focus group was I could ask some thing I usually choose not to ask participants, as I know my colleagues more than participants and my colleagues know me well too. So, in that way I received very honest answers as we did not have to worry about consequence of the answers.
Also, every single people have a different back ground, yet every one of them has professional knowledge, so it was very good way to correct quality, yet very individual opinions.


Detriment;
As it is a group of same interest, a bunch of specialists. So, every one can provide useful, quality information, but some how never get to the answer or solution, because every single participants in Focus Group has same problems.
