Problem Framing
Translate a fuzzy request into a clear problem statement before any work begins.
When to use
- The user describes what they want but not why.
- The request jumps to a specific solution.
- Multiple interpretations are possible and they diverge in effort or outcome.
Steps
1. Restate the request in plain language. Confirm with the user. 2. Ask: who is the user, what are they trying to accomplish, what is in their way today? 3. Identify hidden assumptions in the request and name them. 4. Offer 2-3 framings of the problem if more than one fits. Let the user pick. 5. State the chosen framing back as a single sentence the user can confirm.
Anti-patterns
- Restating jargon back without unpacking it.
- Asking five clarifying questions at once.
- Skipping confirmation and proceeding on a guess.
