1. Do a recap of the problem, rephrase the case context.

2. What are some clarifying questions you would ask?
3. What is the key objective of the case? In other words, what is the case question?
4. Draw yourselves an issue tree (or framework) to tackle the problem.
5. Pick a branch and dig deeper. What are some hypotheses on where theroot-cause is?
6. Of those root causes, what are some possible solutions?
7. Are there any obstacles when implementing those solutions?
8. Any other question you can come up with on your own…
