The problem solving process

1Jan10

A continuación dejo unos apuntes que tomé en una clase de Project Management durante el periodo que pasé en Reading.

In Project Management class we have seen a model of the problem solving process by Essentials of Business Information Systems.

1. Problem identifications:

  • Agreement that problem exists
  • Definition of problem
  • Identify causes of problem
  • We can be done given resources of firm

2. Solution design:

  • Often there are many possible solutions.
  • Consider as many as possible to understand range of solutions.

3. Choice: The choice include the following factors:

  • Cost
  • Feasibility given resources and skills
  • Length of time needed to implement the solution

4. Implementation:

  • Build or purchasing solution
  • Testing solutions and employee training
  • Change management
  • Measurement of outcomes
  • Feedback and evaluation of solution

Final notes:

Problem solving is a continuous process, not a single event. Sometimes chosen solution doesn’t work or needs adjustment.

Feliz 2010 a todos!
