(a)Will your solution address ALL of the criteria with the problem.
True
False
(a) is making sure your solution addresses the most important needs.
Reorder the following
Determine the most important criteria or requirements of the solution.
Make sure your solution possesses design features that address the most critical needs first.
Anything else that helps address the needs of the problem is an “added bonus
(a) are limitations to solving a problem.
When choosing a solution you have to keep in mind

cyclic process that involves making “tweaks” or small changes so to make something better.
Prioritization
Iterative
Criteria
Constraint
You should continue (a) and (b) until you are satisfied with the final solution or until you cannot (c) the solution any further.
When you are testing a solution or a protype, should setbacks stop you
Yes
No

As much as they need to
Brainstorming is a process for...
writing sentences
generating new ideas
creating a game
watering plants
What should you consider when choosing a solution that will best solve a problem?
Cost
Risks
Benefits and Feasibility
All of them
