Discuss the significance of researching various aspects of a problem in FPS Step 1.

• To ignore the importance of data-driven decisions

• To gain a comprehensive understanding of the problem, identify root causes, develop effective solutions, and make data-driven decisions.

• To waste time without achieving any progress

• To limit the scope of potential solutions

Why is it essential to consider the long-term implications of a problem in FPS Step 1?

• To ensure better planning, decision-making, and strategy development.

• To limit creativity and innovation

• To ignore potential obstacles

• To speed up the resolution process

In what ways can FPS Step 1 contribute to developing a proactive mindset among students?
