Mastering the Problem-Solving Process Practice

What is the first step in the Problem-Solving Process?

• Prepare

• Define

• Try

• Reflect

Which of the following is a key activity in the "Define" step of problem-solving?

• Testing different solutions

• Identifying the problem

• Gathering feedback

• Documenting the process

When gathering information, which of the following is most important?

• Collecting as much data as possible, regardless of relevance

• Focusing on data that supports your initial assumption

• Gathering relevant and reliable information

• Ignoring conflicting information

What is the purpose of testing solutions in the problem-solving process?

• To immediately implement the first solution

• To evaluate the effectiveness of potential solutions

• To skip to the reflection step

• To document the process

Which of the following is an example of evaluating results?

• Implementing a solution without review

• Analyzing the outcome of a solution to see if it solved the problem

• Gathering information about the problem

• Defining the problem clearly

What should you do if a solution does not work as expected?

• Give up on solving the problem

• Adjust strategies and try a different approach

• Ignore the failure and move on

• Document the failure and stop

Why is documenting the process important in problem-solving?

• It helps in repeating the same mistakes

• It provides a record for future reference and learning

• It is not necessary if the problem is solved

• It only helps in large projects

Which step involves brainstorming possible solutions?

• Define

• Prepare

• Try

• Reflect

In the "Try" step, what is a crucial action to take?

• Implement the solution without testing

• Test the solution in a controlled environment

• Skip to the reflection step

• Document the initial problem

What is a common mistake during the "Reflect" step?

• Ignoring the results of the solution

• Analyzing what worked and what didn’t

• Adjusting strategies based on feedback

• Documenting the entire process
