An Intro to Problem Definition  Problem Definition includes:  Background and Motivations  Problem Identification/Statement  Value Proposition  Scope  Functions  Criteria/Objectives  Constraints/Specs  Stakeholders  Service Environment

Problem Definition Detailed Introduction  Background and Motivations  s tudy “around” the problem i.e. not very focused  a lways ask “why?”  helps identify stakeholders and clients  history of the problem  context (cultural, economic, social, etc)  other solutions ... why they don’t solve “the problem”  why do this problem?

Problem Definition Detailed Introduction  Problem Identification/Statement  one sentence (not a run-on!)  summarizes/says what your problem is  includes elements such as, but not necessarily all of:  who has the problem (stakeholders)  key criteria/objectives  key constraints  frequency of need  e lements of scope (the “level” of the problem)  key functions that must be addressed

Problem Definition Detailed Introduction  Problem Identification/Statement  The 5 Why’s  how do we find the “real” problem?  we dig, by asking “why” … 3 -5 times  this method was developed by Sakichi Toyoda (of Toyota fame) to find the root cause of a problem  ultimately, this technique is very good at revealing your main design objectives, which are usually worth including in your Problem Statement

Problem Definition Detailed Introduction  Problem Identification/Statement  try not to imply a solution, though scope may restrict it  PS must be correct , concise and precise  the PS is the hardest, and most important part, of defining your problem ... it will always be your touchstone

Problem Definition Detailed Introduction My client needs to count fish. ABC Fishfarm needs to count its fish. ABC Fishfarm needs to accurately count its fish each month for inventory control. ABC Fishfarm needs to accurately count its mature fish each month for inventory control. Fish farms need to accurately count mature fish each month for inventory control. Canadian West Coast salmon farms need to accurately count mature fish each month for inventory control.  one sentence  who has the problem  key criteria/objectives  key constraints  frequency of need  the “level” of the problem  key functions to be addressed  d oesn’t imply solution  correct, concise, precise

Problem Definition Detailed Introduction  Value Proposition  what makes you (your product/service) attractive to customers and clients  summarizes why a consumer should buy your product or service, over competing offerings  use it to target customers who will benefit most from your product/service  it differentiates you from the competition  a promise from you to your customers

Problem Definition Detailed Introduction  Value Proposition  clearly and concisely explains how your product or service solves a pain point  ideally appeals to a customer's strongest decision- making drivers  i t’s the flip side of a problem statement

Problem Definition Detailed Introduction Problem Statement Canadian West Coast salmon farms need to accurately count mature fish each month for inventory control. Canadian West Coast salmon farms need to accurately and cost effectively count mature fish each month for inventory control to enhance customer service. Value Proposition Canadian West Coast salmon farms will be able to accurately and inexpensively count their stock each month, enhancing inventory control and customer service.

Problem Definition Detailed Introduction Problem Statement Canadian West Coast salmon farms need to accurately count mature fish each month for inventory control. Canadian West Coast salmon farms need to accurately and cost effectively count mature fish each month, at less than 1¢ per fish, for enhanced inventory control and customer service. Value Proposition Canadian West Coast salmon farms will be able to accurately and inexpensively count their stock each month, enhancing inventory control and customer service.

Problem Definition Detailed Introduction  Scope  the limits/boundaries/breadth/depth of your problem  what needs to get done; sets expectations  identifies what you will look at/consider and what you will not look at/consider  e.g. will only focus on need for identifying gestating pigs  should characterize your user group  should characterize the target environment of use (geography, climate, socioeconomic, political, etc)  get sign off on scope (to avoid scope creep)

Problem Definition Detailed Introduction Problem Statement Canadian West Coast salmon farms need to accurately count mature fish each month, at less than 1¢ per fish, for enhanced inventory control and customer service. Scope Canadian West Coast salmon farms count mature stock do what with the count?

Problem Definition Detailed Introduction  Functions  what a solution “must do” to “work” or ”be effective”  primary functions are what your artefact/process is designed to do … the true “must do’s” e.g. must clean water, must gather data, must identify gestating pigs  format: must <verb> adverbs or adverbial phrase and/or objects of the action verb  good functions are solution independent; they don’t unnecessarily constrain solutions; they say WHAT must be done, not HOW

Problem Definition Detailed Introduction  Functions  functions set a boundary on the solution space (like constraints); they don’t say what the best solution is  secondary functions are sub-functions that come along for the ride or enable primary functions  e.g. Primary - design must secure a bicycle from theft Secondary - design must release a bicycle for use

Problem Definition Detailed Introduction Problem Statement Canadian West Coast salmon farms need to accurately count mature fish each month, at less than 1¢ per fish, for enhanced inventory control and customer service. Functions count salmon determine whether a salmon is mature

Problem Definition Detailed Introduction  Criteria/Objectives  qualities that we’ll use to measure the “goodness” of your alternative solutions i.e. quantitative, with directionality  what your users/clients/stakeholders and you, value  what things make a solution better/best  does “should” clearly express objectives or constraints? No  d oes “shall” clearly express constraints? Yes

Problem Definition Detailed Introduction  Criteria/Objectives  “the XXX, the better” presents it clearly e.g. durability : the more durable, the better e.g. cost : the lower the cost, the better  each objective should include i) a name/label, ii) a definition (for clarity), and iii) a metric to assess it  many criteria/objectives have accompanying constraints e.g. cost  they should not overlap or you’ll double -count them

Problem Definition Detailed Introduction  Constraints/Specifications  the “must be’s” or quantitative “must do’s” (goals)  performance or qualitative boundaries that separate feasible solutions from non-feasible solutions  each should include i) a name/label, ii) a definition (for clarity), and iii) a value to assess it  come in different varieties: logistical e.g. must be completed within 2 weeks; qualitative e.g. must be black; specific performance e.g. must purify 2 L/min  binary true/false; all equally important
