IS.3:1 - Problem frame

Use this when the useful contribution is sufficiently understood but several forms, combinations or intensities of help remain plausible. Also use it when a current strategy no longer fits the recipient, target, available means or support demand.

Start from the contribution the next receiving use needs. Compare the existing adequate way with one materially different way of supplying it. Explain what a performer would actually do, what conditions make that useful, what the next receiver obtains and who can provide the whole contribution at the required time.

The governed subject is the support strategy: the way of helping establish, use or revise the target practice. Its description, schedule and provided arrangement are different things. A strategy can include teaching, expert performance, facilitation, condition repair or a change of target, but naming these activities does not supply their Methods.

Use an already sufficient strategy and arrangement directly. A routine access repair needs no portfolio of alternatives. When the primary unresolved question is technical validity, an organization’s architecture or the recipient’s development direction, obtain that professional result before treating its answer as a support-design choice.
