Steps in Problem Analysis and formulation of a Problem Tree

• • • • • • • Step-1: Identify the Core Development Problem Step-2: Identify the problems that are the direct causes of the development problem (Existing Problems and not the anticipated future problems) Step-3: Repeat step 2 to determine direct causes for each of the problems identified under step-2 Broaden the problem tree as you work downward. Step-4: Identify the direct effects of the development problems and place them in a horizontal line above the Development Problem Step-5: Continue to work upward by placing the perceived effects of...
