A workshop is a focused event attended by key stakeholders and subject matter experts (SMEs) for a concentrated period of time. A workshop may be held for different purposes including planning, analysis, design, scoping, requirements elicitation, modelling, or any combination of these.(BABOK v3 10.50.2) Future state likely have many elements to discuss and the workshop is a focused event which cannot cater all elements at the time.

Scope for sure. The scope provides a defined boundary within which the discussion and analysis should remain focused. While the future state may involve uncertainty and various possibilities, the scope defines the specific area that is relevant to the current discussion and analysis. Therefore, understanding and maintaining the scope are crucial for ensuring that the workshop stays focused on the intended topic.

Answer A Throughout the workshop, the facilitator maintains focus by frequently validating the session's activities with the workshop's purpose and outcomes (BABOK 10.50.3.3) The purpose and the outcomes mentioned here are clearly the future state to reach. As a BA, you will not focus the attention of the stakeholder remember them that they are out of scope. Better to validate something comparing to the futur state to reach.
