Define The Problem
• Clarify the nature of the problem
• Formulate Questions.
• Gather Information systematically.
• Condensing and summarizing the
data.

Brain Storming:
• Is finding as many
solutions as possible
separated from their
evaluation or
implementation.

• Weight each solution
according to your
objectives and criteria.
16
Evaluating and Selecting Solution
I T I - S y s t e m s D e v e l o p m e n t I n t a k e 3 7
• Deciding which is
the best solution.

18I T I - S y s t e m s D e v e l o p m e n t I n t a k e 3 7
Its about taking
into consideration
all the aspects of
your decision.
19
Decision Making
I T I - S y s t e m s D e v e l o p m e n t I n t a k e 3 7
Resolving The Problem
• Planning and preparation
• Implementation phase
20I T I - S y s t e m s D e v e l o p m e n t I n t a k e 3 7
21I T I - S y s t e m s D e v e l o p m e n t I n t a k e 3 7
Its all about
analyzing your cost
and potential
danger.
22
Risk analysis
I T I - S y s t e m s D e v e l o p m e n t I n t a k e 3 7
It’s a very critical
phase which
require huge
experience.
23
Implementation
I T I - S y s t e m s D e v e l o p m e n t I n t a k e 3 7
Check if the
problem is
completely solved
and if not follow up
and start the cycle
again.
24
Follow up the results
I T I - S y s t e m s D e v e l o p m e n t I n t a k e 3 7
Having good
problem solving
skills can make a
huge difference to
your career.

Importance of Problem Solving Skill
I T I - S y s t e m s D e v e l o p m e n t I n t a k e 3 7
Every Day Engineers
and Developers Face
new problems that
they will have to
solve.
