Next Video How to Write a Problem Statement 

Prob­lem state­ments are a cru­cial com­po­nent of suc­cess­ful prob­lem-solv­ing and con­tin­u­ous improve­ment efforts. A well-struc­tured prob­lem state­ment high­lights the gap between the cur­rent and the desired state, serves as a bench­mark for project suc­cess, and pin­points the busi­ness impact. Learn how to artic­u­late prob­lem state­ments that are objec­tive, clear, and con­cise, lever­ag­ing the SMART frame­work to ensure speci­fici­ty, mea­sur­a­bil­i­ty, attain­abil­i­ty, rel­e­vance, and timeliness.
