five minutes thinking about solutions.” — Albert Einstein</p></blockquote><p id="a9fe" class="pw-post-body-paragraph nc nd gu nf b ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu nv nw nx ny nz oa gn bk">In the world of product development, finding a problem to solve is part of the job, regardless of the role someone is filling. Arguing which problem to solve, differentiating between 2 closely related problems, figuring out which to be taken care of first, are things that you can find in a product team discussion. However, one part that I think can be beneficial to any product team, is going deep into understanding what is the actual problem. Here, people often mistaken observation with a problem.</p><p id="85b2" class="pw-post-body-paragraph nc nd gu nf b ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu nv nw nx ny nz oa gn bk">Take for example this case. En route to my way home, I often experience a long queue in a central bus station. And in several occurrences, this long queue leads to a very packed station. If I jump into <a class="af my" href="https://www.interaction-design.org/literature/article/stage-2-in-the-design-thinking-process-define-the-problem-and-interpret-the-results" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">problem statement creation a la Design Thinking</a>, I’ll probably write this statement</p><p id="1b8a" class="pw-post-body-paragraph nc nd gu nf b ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu nv nw nx ny nz oa gn bk"><em class="ne">How might we reduce queue in central bus station during peak hour, so that the bus station is more comfortable for commuters</em></p><p id="ca58" class="pw-post-body-paragraph nc nd gu nf b ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu nv nw nx ny nz oa gn bk">Now think about that for a second, <em class="ne">a long bus queue</em> is an observation. It may looks like a problem, but I have to validate whether or not it really is a problem. What I can derive, after some time, is that <em class="ne">a long bus queue </em>is an effect of a more fundamental problem: <strong class="nf gv">capacity of the incoming bus is less than the influx of commuters during peak hour</strong>. Moreover, <em class="ne">a long bus queue </em>for a commuter, may not be an issue, they can endure it. What irritates them is the effect of this queue: <strong class="nf gv">unpredicted time to reach home</strong>. Hey, after all, the reason they go to a bus station after working for 8–9 hours, is to reach home.</p><p id="b886" class="pw-post-body-paragraph nc nd gu nf b ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu nv nw nx ny nz oa gn bk">Therefore, the above observation, could results in 2 more fundamental, or dare I say, exciting problem statements</p><p id="9c8f" class="pw-post-body-paragraph nc nd gu nf b ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu nv nw nx ny nz oa gn bk"><em class="ne">How might we increase the number of bus serving during peak hours so that more passengers from busy points can be served</em></p><p id="2c6d" class="pw-post-body-paragraph nc nd gu nf b ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu nv nw nx ny nz oa gn bk">or</p><p id="2c0b" class="pw-post-body-paragraph nc nd gu nf b ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu nv nw nx ny nz oa gn bk"><em class="ne">How might we help commuters to arrive home in a predictable time, during peak hours, so that they can feel relaxed even in a packed station</em></p><p id="0402" class="pw-post-body-paragraph nc nd gu nf b ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu nv nw nx ny nz oa gn bk">I don’t say that the very first problem statement above is invalid or bad. It’s just if you think deeper, you can encounter a more fundamental problem to solve, something closer to achievable solution. After all, identifying problem is only part of building solution. Also in spirit of iteration, the last 2 problem statements are definitely still open for another round of exploration to pinpoint a more fundamental problems.</p></div></div></div><div class="ab cb ob oc od oe" role="separator"><span class="of by bm og oh oi"></span><span class="of by bm og oh oi"></span><span class="of by bm og oh"></span></div><div class="gn go gp gq gr"><div class="ab cb"><div class="ci bh fz ga gb gc"><p id="8959" class="pw-post-body-paragraph nc nd gu nf b ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr ns nt nu nv nw nx ny nz oa gn bk">To conclude, if you’re a practicing product manager, user researcher, designer, or software engineer, looking for a problem to solve, I strongly urge you to rethink of what is the observation at hand and try to see the actual problem there.
