# problem-solving Workflow

Apply systematic problem-solving methodologies to crack complex challenges. This workflow guides through problem diagnosis, root cause analysis, creative solution generation, evaluation, and implementation planning using proven frameworks.

**Author:** BMad

## How to Use

This skill provides a structured workflow. Follow the steps below:

## Workflow Steps

### Step 1: Define and refine the problem

### Step 2: Diagnose and bound the problem

### Step 3: Conduct root cause analysis

### Step 4: Analyze forces and constraints

### Step 5: Generate solution options

### Step 6: Evaluate and select solution

### Step 7: Plan implementation

### Step 8: Establish monitoring and validation

## Output Template

Use the following template structure for output:

```markdown
# Problem Solving Session: {{problem_title}}

**Date:** {{date}}
**Problem Solver:** {{user_name}}
**Problem Category:** {{problem_category}}
