The Steps Framework: Solve Any Problem

Start with the first step you need to accomplish to solve the problem and then repeat in order until the problem is solved.

1. What do you need?
2. How much does it cost?
3. Where do you get it?
4. How do you implement it in this system?
5. Does it help you get closer to the solved problem?
6. If not, Turn the unknown into a question and get it answered.
7. Repeat for the next step.

Once your problem is solved, revisit the framework and ask yourself if you can eliminate any steps or find better ways to accomplish a step. When you do so, use the Steps Framework to hone your solution.
