PROBLEM-SOLVING APPROACH
Study and understand the problem, its context, and its impact.
Define the requirements that must be meet by any solution.
Identify candidate solutions that fulfill the requirements, and select the “best” solution.
Design and/or implement the chosen solution
Observe and evaluate the solution’s impact, and refine the solution accordingly.
A statement and categorization of problems, opportunities, and directives; may also include constraints and an initial vision for the solution. Synonyms include preliminary study and feasibility assessment.
Problem Statement
Constraint
Scope Creep
Statement of Work
Any factor, limitation, or restraint that may limit a solution or the problem- solving process.
Problem Statement
Constraint
Scope Creep
Statement of Work
A common phenomenon wherein the requirements and expectations of a project increase, often without regard to the impact on budget and schedule.
Problem Statement
Constraint
Scope Creep
Statement of Work
A contract with management and the user community to develop or enhance an information system; defines vision, scope, constraints, high-level user requirements, schedule, and budget. Synonyms include project charter, project plan, and service-level agreement.
