About this process
This technique is used to solve difficult problems by adopting new perspectives and allowing you to create better hypotheses. Also known as "Re-frame the problem". Duration: 30min to 1h
The process in detail
6 steps- 1
🔥 Define Your Problem: What is the problem you are trying to solve?
- 2
👀 Try to frame the problem as a question.
- 3
👉 Now state the key outcome/outcomes you're trying to achieve.
- 4
Write down the consequences of the problem
- 5
Breakdown the barriers you are facing and important aspects of the context or constraints that you will have to consider.

1. 🔥 Define Your Problem: What is the problem you are trying to solve?
Write down a concise definition of your problem or challenge. It should be a short, single sentence.
Why is this important? Framing the challenge is essential for finding a good solution. Review and refine your question and the information you used to get there using the promps in this session. Learn about this method here.
2. 👀 Try to frame the problem as a question.
For example:
"Improve my user experience design." or
"How can we improve our UX design?"
3. 👉 Now state the key outcome/outcomes you're trying to achieve.
4. Write down the consequences of the problem
Next, define the problem in terms of consequences and what solving the problem could mean. Think about the ultimate impact achieved once the problem is solved or reasons you might want to solve this problem. For example: "we want to improve UX design so that older people will be able to buy online easily" or "we want to improve UX design so that more users make it through the checkout process". All participants should write down the potential benefits of solving the problem, and the consequences of not solving it.
5. Breakdown the barriers you are facing and important aspects of the context or constraints that you will have to consider.
Now break down the barriers you're facing.
They could be:
Write as many barriers down as you can.
6. Redefine the problem: What is the problem you're trying to solve?
🙂Define the challenge again after thinking about all topics and barriers.
Use the perspectives you've just put together to redefine the problem statement.👇
