Problem Analysis
Problem analysis involves framing the issue by defining its boundaries, establishing criteria with which to
select from alterna!ves, and developing conclusions based on available informa!on. Analyzing a problem
may not result in a decision, although the results are an important ingredient in all decision making.
Another way to consider problem analysis is a process that includes iden!fying and defining the problem,
gathering informa!on about the problem, and deciding if one or a group will begin work to solve the
problem. A decision to solve the problem leads to analysis of the problem, in this model, asking the what,
why, how, and other basic ques!ons. From this point, the group can re-visit the decision to solve and refine
any issues (risk, cost, feasibility, for example.)
