Decisions

It's important to have a process to make decisions and capture this process to understand why certain decisions were made. You can only revisit decisions effectively and rethink them without always starting at square one.

State the Problem

The first step should always be to be able to state, formulate, and articulate the problem properly. This ensures that the problem is well understood and that it is the foundation to develop good solutions.

Gather Solutions

To avoid directly jumping to the next best solution, it's important to come up with at least two proposals on how to solve the problem.

Pros and Cons

List the pros and cons of each solution. It is crucial to be really aware of the limitations of each decision. Often, there is no perfect solution; in that case, we should be aware of our flaws and downsides.
