Problem-Solving Steps

What is the first step in the problem-solving process?

• Identify the root cause of the problem

• Gather relevant information

• Understand the problem statement

• Define the problem

Why is it important to clearly define the desired outcome in problem-solving?

• To focus efforts and evaluate potential solutions

• To confuse the stakeholders

• To complicate the process

• To delay the solution

What is a key aspect of gathering relevant information in problem-solving?

• Ignoring key stakeholders

• Consulting subject matter experts

• Not identifying the root cause

• Avoiding data analysis

Which technique can be used to generate a diverse set of ideas for potential solutions?

• Mind mapping

• SWOT analysis

• Not evaluating capabilities

• Ignoring impact on operations

• Alignment with existing processes

Why is it important to assess the timeline feasibility of solutions?

• To avoid progress tracking

• To delay implementation

• To ensure realistic timelines

• To ignore deadlines

What should be carefully evaluated when assessing the pros and cons of proposed solutions?

• Multiple factors including cost, time, and resources

• Technical feasibility only

• Cost and time only
