Separate Symptoms from a Problem  Use Symptoms to Define the Problem  Analyze the Problem to Find Out its Causes  5 key questions: – Who has the problem? – Where does the problem take place? – When does the problem take place? – What turns the situation into a problem? – How does the problem influence individuals? 7 Symptom Symptom Symptom Symptom Problem Problem Problem Cause 8 Process of Group Writing  Problem = the goal of writing a document  “Why should we create this document in writing?”  “What kind of a document do we need to create?”
