Write down what problem you are solving, for whom and within what limits, before proposing a solution.
What you learn
- Separate, in a request, the solution it brings from the problem behind it, with questions that propose no solutions.
- Identify whom a problem is for (who pays, who uses, who suffers the consequences and who decides) and name a clash between their needs.
- Classify a problem's limits into constraints, scope, a success criterion with a number, preferences and assumptions.
- List what you don't know, with how to find it out and how you know it today, and choose what to look for first.
- Write a six-line problem definition and correct it with the client until they recognize it as their own.
